[edit] Plains Halflings

[edit] Personality

Unlike most halflings, the plains halflings tend to have a more serious, war-like tendency.

[edit] Physical Description

Plains halflings stand approximately four feet tall with sun-browned, leathery skin. They typically have hair ranging from red to brown. Their eyes are usually brown, but can range across the spectrum.

[edit] Relations

The Plains Halflings get along extremely well with Otterlings and Sandstorm Dwarves, but are mildly stand-offish to most elves. They tend to attack humans and gnomes first then they ask questions.

[edit] Alignment

Any good, but most tend to lean Chaotic Good.

[edit] Lands

They live in the deserts and plains regions in the extreme north of Shekastkoré called Tufanshen.

[edit] Religion

They follow the Shekastkoréan Pantheon, typically favoring the Lesser God, Befria.

[edit] Language

All speak Common and Halfling. Most others speak at least one of the following fluently: Dwarven, Elven, Gnome, and Goblin.

[edit] Names

The only constant in their names is a color. This color depends on what is around the mother at the time of naming, as well as any portents. For example: Obsidianred Beastclaw.
