[QUOTE="Pig Champion, post: 5127473, member: 87378"] I've always seen Halflings as the creators of known society. Through exchange and trade, they taught the older races of Elves and Dwarves agriculture. I like to mash-up Halflings and Gelflings. So the females can fly, although their ability to do so has diminished over the centuries. Typically, the live near water supplies, used to irrigate their farms. My halflings have a capital of sorts on the banks of a large river, much like the Thames. The problem is, the rivalry between the north and south banks of the city means that they can never work together to build any bridges as displayed by a huge bridge with the middle part missing. They have trained dolphins, which act as ferries across the city's river and are famous for a warrior caste like the knight...except they ride dolphins and hold no lands, just titles. There is one other thing my Halflings use to separate themselves from the pack. Their use of child assassins and thieves. Almost always female, Halflings hand pick children and send to their sleeper cells through out the world for training. This provides the bulk of their income but also acts like Mossad. Politically, the Halflings have never been forgotten for their help and although their day has passed they still sit on very influential councils. However, some see their culture as a blight on the world, probably because they live on all the best and most irrigated land. The cells usually make swift work of such people however. [/QUOTE]
