A war was raging between two human kingdoms and when one of the wizard-kings decided that the mountains were in his way, he removed them and Shyla Valley was revealled to the world. The fields and food stores of the halflings were quickly claimed by the armies and not having to fight for anything in centuries, they seemed to be doomed.But they were saved, you see the halfling of Shyla Valley remembered the old ways and always honored the faerie and fae in all things. The fact that humans had forgot those ways may have also been a factor, but on the night of the full moon, every halfing in the valley disappeared.The War came to an abrupt end when the wizard-kings tried to summon a dragon all at the same time and a flight of dragons was summoned, all rather pissed off. It took a centrury for the human kingdoms to recover and just as one of them decided to start the war again, the Halflings returned.But where a hundred years had passed in the real world, a dozen generations had passed in the faerie lands for the halflings and they had "changed", they were creatures of Faerie now.They had learned skill in both Arcane and Nature magics (favored class Sorcerer) and have learned many secrets of the Fae (They have access to the Faerie feats and Prestige classes in Faeries by Bastion Press). Oh and also, they do not like humans!The human kingdom fell to the halflings very easily and with faerie enchantments, they made slaves of all those humans who could not escape. They have created and empire that is modeled on the Faerie courts and often visited by various creatures of both faerie kingdoms, both light and dark and this is reflected in the Shyla Halflings as well.They are very flamboyant (think "Anime Halfings") and can be both noble and mallicious in the same evening. The have access to vast arcane powers as well as druidic magics, and they have lots of "little friends". All Shyla Halfings can cast Good Luck & Bad Luck (See Faeries, Bastion press) 3/ day combined and for every two character levels, they gain the Summon Fey (I to IX) spells in succession, each can be used 1/ day.Their Racial Traits are:+2 Luck Bonus to all Saves (except for Divine magic)+2 Luck bonus to all Arcane and Nature Magical effects. (They are very vulnerable to Divine magic because they abandoned the Halfling pantheon)+2 racial bonus to Spot, Search and Listen skill checks. Languages: Halfing, Fae and CommonFavored Class: SorcererLevel Adjustment: +2And just how much do these halflings not like humans? Well, have you ever noticed that humans are to haflings in size as horses are to men? <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" /></blockquote>
