Halflings are not "integrated" into human society in the traditional sense, but are allowed to exist there with relative autonomy under the [[Concord of the Highways]], which allows them free passage, grazing lands, and taxation exemption in exchange for neutrality and non-currency tributes. Both sides, more or less, have lived up to the Concord, and there is minimal animosity between the groups in the modern day, but occasional disputes about land ownership, taxation, or travel rights can occur. In the event of disputes Halflings show their stubbornness and solidarity. A Gold Hand work stoppage request can shut down ports or border crossings. A full Hand request can amount to something closer to a siege. | Halflings are not "integrated" into human society in the traditional sense, but are allowed to exist there with relative autonomy under the [[Concord of the Highways]], which allows them free passage, grazing lands, and taxation exemption in exchange for neutrality and non-currency tributes.

Halflings are of no Nation, but exist in every Nation and can be found in every major settlement and along every road and waterway larger than a scratch on a map all the way down past the end of civilization to the far South. | Halflings are of no Nation, but exist in every Nation and can be found in every major settlement and along every road and waterway larger than a scratch on a map all the way down past the end of civilization to the far South. More so than any of the Human Nations, Halflings still revere [[Druids]] with a large plurality of the population practicing a mix of both traditional druid as well as Alexandrian holidays and rituals. | ||
