[QUOTE="Rugger, post: 1802979, member: 3092"] In my world, the halflings have adapted through adversity. When the Infernal Legions invaded the Prime 2 centuries ago, a few things happened: 1. The Elves vanished. Up and left. 2. The dwarves went deep into their mountains (eventually becoming PART of the mountains) 3. The gnomes hopped into their skyships and went up, up, and away. This left the halflings and the humans. So they teamed up. 100 years of war with the extraplanar invaders hardened them and their human allies. They worked together to utilize their strengths together and eliminate their weaknesses. And they did it. Now calling themselves the Halven (halfling is just about the single most insulting name you can call one, since that word had its roots in the language of the Elves that deserted them) make the finest crossbows in the world, able to punch bolts through any armor, and capable of multiple shots before reloading. They also learned the arts of mounted combat and riding from their human allies, and the ages have bred their dogs into fiercely protective mounts and friends. The hard years have brought them close to their human allies, closer than any other two races in the world. Though they cannot cross-breed, the years of close association seem to have rubbed off on the Halven, they are taller and stronger than their great-great-grandfathers ever were, and the cities and towns of the greatest nations are equally populated by Halven and Men. And everyone else knows to NEVER anger one when the other is around... -Rugger "I WillRunMyWorldSomeday!!!" [/QUOTE]
