Half-Elf
While extremely rare in the Principality of Halinde, Half-Elves are more common in Linande. Humans are drawn to the beauty of Elves, and Elves find themselves entranced at times by the zeal for life that humans show. These infatuations often lead to the birth of half-elves. These half-elves grow up a part of two races, neither of which embraces them fully.
Because of their dual nature, and the difficulties fitting in within with either culture, the Adventurer’s life suits them very well. Because of their isolation, they tend to have a drive to prove themselves and form a personal identity.
