Halfling Homes

Should Halflings be from the Rivers (Swamps, Marshes) or from the Hills?

Hills.

Leave the swamps to the lizardmen

if 4e sticks them in the swamps, then I'd opt for these:

Hills. Which is to say, as long as they still live in the sort of burrows described by Professor T. (which means hillsides) I don't mind if you insist they are close to rivers and bodies of water. When I think of Hill Country I think of either bare, green hills of Ireland/Scotland/Britain or low-mountain sorts of hills - as in Ozark hillbilly kind of hills - either of which I can also see as being halfling country.

I like the idea of them becoming gypsies like those found in Golden Compass, river people who wander the land throughout its waterways.

This would be a perfect way for them to overcome the fact that they would naturally cover less ground than a larger "nomad" and helps distinguish them from humans.
