If it's a halfling area, does that make it a halflet?   *Gets tarred+feathered by angry locals*   That small island looks like the youths will be up to no good during summer nights there. Another question about the map: that's a lot of buildings, do a lot of people live by themselves, are they storage areas / barns, or are a bunch of them abandoned?

I imagine some of them are used as storage/barns, along with a number of them being abandoned due to reasons like the resident's old age or just the building not being safe to live in anymore due to the crumbling state of the hamlet
