Halfling (Race)

Halflings, or natively Hin, were previously a northern roaming people, claiming no cultural homeland and no large settlements. Following an attempted genocide by the previous Volsung king (called the Tempering), halflings were given the Sindu Isles by the country of Ayah. Now, halflings have made efforts to maintaining their extensive oral history and traditional culture, ultimately permanently planting their race’s feet on the islands. Halfling society is now sovereignly governed. Their penchant for roaming and exploring, however, inevitably leads their youth to disperse throughout the world. Upon reaching the age of 16, young halflings go on their Ta’ah, a rite of passage wherein they travel and wander for 4 years. Halflings, commonly young adult ones, can therefore be found in many countries, especially in the Strait A’s and Vespia.
