Halfling

Folk of the earth, halflings are slightly shorter than dwarves but not nearly as stocky. Their males tend toward 3’1” tall and 85lb in weight. Their females are usually 2 inches shorter and 11 pounds lighter. Halflings have golden or brown hair that comes either in curls or waves. Males grow beards only after having reached an advanced age, and even then the beards are thin and curly.

Because they spend so much of their time digging in the earth, one would expect halflings to often be dirty and clothed in drab colors. This is the case for males, but not for females who are the peacocks of their society. Halfling females tend toward bright colors and natural jewelry. Wood, vines, stones and bones are the primary materials for halfling accessories. Bracelets and belts are the favorite types of jewelry, as are things that can clack together. Worked metal is used to hold things together, and is viewed as unrefined and inharmonious when worn for the sake of the metal. Gemstones and rare woods are used instead to display wealth.

Halfling customs dictate the dead to be buried in cemeteries, rather than in crypts or burned on pyres.
