General Information
The Halflings of Everwind Country are a peaceful peoples that keep to themselves. Often times they are protected and work along with whichever kingdom they happen to reside in, often having no rulership of their own outside of village elders. They are known to farm the land and raise animals, and thoroughly enjoy picnics and having a good time. For the most part, they prefer the quiet life. They have been known to be excellent musicians, cooks and brewers.
Halflings stand at 3 to 4 foot in height. They have points to their ears, but not to the extent of Elves. They have similar hair and eye color possibilities to Humans. Halflings have soft, round facial features, and are usually lean, looking like miniature Humans, not stocky, or stunted.

Interspecies Relations
Halflings townships tend to keep to themselves, relying on the surrounding kingdom for protection, though they do not take an active part in conflicts, if it can be helped.

Halflings hold no disdain for other "High" races, maintaining a "to each his own" attitude.
Magical Affinities
Most Halflings have no distrust or negative feeling towards the magical arts, but because of the simple lives they tend to lead, feel there is no need for such practices.
