The population is 99% halfling.Story: The mighty wizard Christov the Lee became jealous of how popular a fellow wizard was amongst halflings, decided to beat his rival's annual firework display by reviving the worship of an ancient halfling fertility goddess. This worked splendidly, increasing the fertility of the land for the small price of a sacrifice, burned inside a giant wicker rabbit, every summer solstice. The delighted halflings made the wizard their leader, renaming him Lord Sommershire. However, the burning sacrifices drew the attention of the dark powers of Ravenloft, and the whole of Sommershire was drawn into the mists, and Lord Sommershire became the dark lord. The land was cursed with a summer solstice every week, and very stringent demands for suitable sacrifices, which the locals where incapable of meeting. Thus the entire land spends most of it's time holding festivals to lure in and test strangers as potential sacrifices. In addition, Lord Sommershire is personally cursed with a craving for a certain herb, the one thing that will no longer grow in Sommershire.</blockquote>
