[QUOTE="Loonook, post: 4675186, member: 1861"] Halflings are are the progenitors of 'modern' civilization. They need less materials, smaller spaces in which to live, and build like Amish termites trained by mystic architects. They have talents for making objects of beauty and strength, but they rarely hire out their talents to other races without something in return. Halflings master their bodies as they master the land around them; architecture, medicine, anything which shapes themselves or the world around them. A fluid caste-like system based on the 'passion' of the individual is seen as part of their culture; a halfling is not born king, but if he has the talent and works himself through the path and wins favor in the eyes of the people he may become one. There is another side to the coin. Early halfling tribes were fond of trade and subsistence alongside the elves. When the halflings took to their cities they did not completely leave behind the lessons of their tribes. Indeed, there exists a caste of individuals who is revered and feared. Noble but feral, these halflings have embraced the Moon, and become fierce warriors with the ability to change form. ((Inspirations: I see cities where Humans need to cramp themselves together or Shrink themselves to be comfortable, and well-built places. Also, I can see Halfling nobles becoming Glass Walkers [I]a la[/I] [U]Werewolf: The Apocalypse.[/U])) Next time you have a question, cross-post to my inspiration thread if you like this suggestion :).
