NAME
        halfling

SYNOPSIS
        just information

DESCRIPTION
        Halflings are named for their short size, but they generally
        have big hearts. They are nimble and dextrous, and have more
        curiosity than should have been able to fit into such a small
        package, giving rise to the common saying: 'Curiosity killed
        the halfling' - although many times curiosity takes the form
        of a large warrior, whose ancestral blade has been 'found'
        once again by an overcurious halfling. Halflings are natural
        thieves, although they would be shocked to be called that. How
        can they help it if, at the end of the day, they reach into
        their pockets and discover they have 'found' all manner of
        interesting items? The former owners should be more careful
        not to lose them! However, halflings are able to be serious,
        as well. During the Race Wars, they were a major ally of the
        Elven race, using their skills to cause chaos among their
        attackers. No one quite knows where the halfling homeland
        is. Although they speak of a 'Halfling Empire,' they are
        always vague about its specific size and location.
