It's clearly not what they call themselves.Also, your choice to focus on only a single type of halfling, when there are dozens of different identities available is another demonstration of the placement of wee folk as unworthy -- one of the dominant identities others place upon them.In the now dead thread calling for D&D to eliminate the race/species I wrote thousands of words in support of wee folk. I'm too lazy to look that up now. If you don't want them, that's fine.For me, especially with my history stated earlier in this thread, having halflings is vital to my well being. They are also important for the tales in my homebrew world as it was halflings that discovered the bond of companionship as a way to overcome their weaknesses within the world.Halflings in my world also embrace much more than a shire culture. There are <a href="https://fullmoonstorytelling.com/2024/10/27/expanding-the-types-of-halflings-in-your-world/" target="_blank">caravan, desert, coop home, rafts & waterways, bridgers, tree house, spire lands</a> and more.</blockquote>
