[QUOTE="Kichwas, post: 110885, member: 891"] In Fahla Halflings were created by the gods in an attempt to create a race that would wipe out humanity by filling the same niche yet being smaller and more able to avoid the very large predators the gods tossed down to eat all the humans... :) (this was before the humans invented religion and thus won the gods favor... humanity is the only race not created by the gods and thus why they wished to destroy it) So they are quite literally just 'little people' and in the end the task backfired to the point that they joined with humanity and together the two built the first civilizations. Dwarves are creatures of the earth. Born of the Earth mother's womb and kept secret from the world for many ages deep within their mother. They are similar to the DnD paradigm on them but colored to match stone and very 'mother-based' matriarchal. Gnomes are a reflection of the drwarves from the Spirit world (where the faerie races come from) that have crossed over. They reside within the earth but are not truly of it. I haven't gotten a very angle on them yet as the question of 'what do you do with gnomes' has been one I've never truly answered well. [/QUOTE]
