Halflings (Greyhawk)

This article is imported from the Hastur wiki. See the import log for details.

Halflings in Greyhawk are less nomadic than in other worlds. While individual halflings often travel extensively, as a people they are rather static and traveling halflings an inclination to returning home. Halflings enjoy sharing experiences with other people and often involve themselves heavily with humans, living a full life as the sidekick or companion to a human before "retiring" to family life among halflings. Many halfling communities contain such "retired heroes", which can come as a great surprise to anyone who would molest them. Promiscuous with other races, halflings are notoriously faithful among themselves.
