Tajul Halflings

Tajul Halflings (also called "wanderers, or "lightfoot" halflings) are a race of small humanoids from Jisrima. They are one of a variety of tiny people, all from this region. Much of their population was scattered to the winds after the Treaty of Jisrima was written. The Tajul are those that built up wagons, and left, abandoning their homeland and its "colonizers." They travel in caravans under different group names and have made there way across the world. Some have found places to settle such as the Briar and Niya Halflings, but the Tajul continue to travel.

Naming Traditions

Other names

Halflings typically have 4 names. The first name is their given name, given to them during their birth or naming ceremony. The second name is the given name of their father with the suffix "bin" or "bint" meaning "son of" or "daughter of." The third name is the given name of their mother, also with the suffix of "bin" or "bint." The fourth name is the name of the "caravan" they are from. For example, a halfling may be named Arumo Laricbin Isaribin Bower (Bower being the collective name of the caravan).

Culture

Culture and cultural heritage

Many halflings have a culture of politeness, respect, propriety, and tradition. They are fiercely proud of their wagons and can make anyone who is welcome inside feel comfortable. They would never try and disrespect anyone, and are content to live in their private communities away from excitement and drama. They enjoy a simple nomadic life of trading and collecting local stories, legends and songs to share across the world.

Common Etiquette rules

Halflings in general have a strong sense of etiquette and it is easy to offend or be considered rude by a halfling, though they would never call you out on such manners. This can be as simple as waiting till everyone is seated before eating, keeping all non food items off the table (such as weapons or keys), respecting your elders, being punctual, not stopping by places uninvited, never touch another halflings pipe, no discussion of politics, money or religion at a table or public setting, wallways bring baked goods when visiting someone, using proper titles such as "master," etc. Even Tajul halflings have a sense of wagon etiquette like taking off your shoes, never sitting on another's bed, and never speaking ill of another while around a cookfire (as it will spoil the meal).

Common Dress code

Though tajul halflings still have similar styles of shujae halflings, with vests, head scarves or hats, and embroidered clothing, Tajul halflings favor bright colors, decorative sashes, flowing blouses, and consider jackets only necessary for particularly formal situations. They also favor jewelry gathered from around the world, where shujae halflings tend to shy away from jewelry.

Art & Architecture

Halflings live in Bow top cottage shaped wagons with large wheels pulled by large terrestrial birds known as doas, which tend to be docile and intelligent birds capable of gliding short distances.  These wagons are highly decorated, personalized brightly painted, and mastercrafted works of art. They have large wheels, wooden frames, and front facing doors. Most can comfortably house a human, let alone a halfling family. Additionally, everything within the halfling's wagon tends to be masterfully crafted and beautiful, from porcelain painted dishes, bright colored silk fabrics, to gold trimmed curtains.

Common Customs, traditions and rituals

Even Tajul halflings have rich food cultures as they travel, with a variety of rich flavors. Some are so well known in their standard migrations that they will open up small cafes around their wagons with good food, good beers, imported wines, and the music of the tajul women. Unfortunately, tajul's have a negative reputation in many places. As a result of being exploited on occasion, some groups have taken to thievery as a means of gaining wealth and supplies, giving many tajul halflings a stereotype of thieves and layabouts, despite many other instances of honest and hard work. Additionally, due to the carefree nature of many halflings, young adults have been inspired to join tajul and "run away" with the caravans, giving them a reputation of stealing children. This is of course a misunderstanding as Tajul will not let anyone travel with them that is not an adult in their own right. 
Because of this reputation, primarily instigated by local thieves using tajul as scapegoats, the tajul now set up camps outside of city limits, only entering in obvious groups for trade. They limit their time within the city, making it harder to be blamed for such acts of thievery, and forcing people to come to their camps to do trade and business. Once all of the local areas know they are available, they still get some business, but its become more difficult as of late due to persistent rumors and reputations.

Birth & Baptismal Rites

Halflings will typically have a "name day" ceremony where people bring foods for a potluck style picnic. This is usually around the child is 1 year of age, when the parents have grown to like a specific name for the child. The name day ceremony is typically also the child's first birthday where the name is officially transcribed in family and community documents.

Coming of Age Rites

Halflings will typically host a 20th birthday party for themselves which is a community potluck, often accompanied by music and a lot of beer. Their ability to host and plan such an event is often a cause for great scrutiny, and says a great deal about how well they were raised in halfling culture. After this birthday, they are typically considered adults. This is when many Tajul halflings will begin building their own wagons or accents to put together when married.

Funerary and Memorial customs

Tajul halflings cremate their dead more often than not. Spouses and parents to unmarried children who have passed will often keep the ashes in decorative urns in their wagons. If the person that died is the last living member of the wagon (meaning the children have made their own) and they do not have a living spouse, then the person will often be burned in the wagon, with goods and items being distributed to existing relatives or the community. Ashes of spouses or unmarried children are often put together, with the home, and buried somewhere along the road. They do this to make sure that even in death, the entire family can come together within their home, which is considered extremely personal. Of course remaining metal pieces may be scavenged or removed before hand and given away with the rest of the items. A halflings wagon must never be sold and is extremely personal. This is so sacred that tajul halflings will go out of their way to burn a wagon that has been stolen or sold to a non tajul halfling.

Ideals

Beauty Ideals

Tajul halflings have developed a more "worldly" sense of beauty and favor confidence and self expression. They enjoy bright colors, dancing, music, and laughter, making them almost unrecognizable from halfligns they come from.

Gender Ideals

Women are typically seen as more delicate and excel in feats of the arts, such as music, dancing, and crafting. Men are expected to provide for the caravan typically in trading, haggling and selling crafted goods, acting as repair men, and occasionally completing small bounties. Women typically do not leave the caravan and tend to children, cookfires, and occasionally hosting craft and trade stands for selling goods.

Courtship Ideals

Tajul Halfling halflings have a more relaxed idea of dating and marriage, typically having unchaperoned dates and sexual relations before eventual handfasting ceremonies. They still tend to be monogamous life long marriages, but the relaxed style of dating has led them to have an unfavorable reputation among the Shujae halflings. After two halflings come together, they will often build their own wagon, decorating it and personalizing it to their own desires.

Relationship Ideals

Men are expected to be more serious and level headed in a relationship, often taking on the burdens of making decisions, obtaining goods, and defending the caravans. Women are expected to be the moral support of the caravan and care for the children. The two typically work together to create a close knit and private community.
