Halflings

Halflings

The Halfling of Ing’gareth are a curious sort. While all other races mature and age linearly across the board, Halflings instead are almost stunted. Though they reach maturity at the age of 16 and can live up to 250 years, all mature Halflings have the physical appearance of a Human on the cusp of puberty. Though for many this would be a detriment, Halflings instead embrace all aspects of life to the fullest. For such a long lived race, they love and laugh and live as though every day could be their last, truly burning the candle of life for all it is worth. Nimble, small, curious, bright, and deft, the Halflings of Ing’gareth are some of the most talented craftspeople, bravest explorers, and fastest friends any could hope to find. For ones so small, they carry enormous presence. However, behind every smiling Halfling face, you can see a slight glimmer of fear hidden deep, deep down.
