History

Humans rose up on this earth to inherit it in this latter age, but the Elves and the Dwarves both sought to control them and their creative genius. When this failed and the population of humans began to spread beyond what the Dwarves or Elves could command, the Treaty of Ancients was signed, allowing humans their own land in between the Elves and Dwarves. After the land of the Inner Realms was granted to them, the humans began their own settlements and civilizations, slowly, building out into 6 distinct nations around the Inner Realms. Halflings began as a magical cross between the good fae of the world and humans. This bloodline has carried on through the ages parallel to humankind. Halflings have always been a part of civilization yet, also their own civilization. Halflings love games and trickery, but usually only of a good-natured sort. They are allies with humans and join in human culture, but consider themselves separate from it. They very often are associated with food and agriculture, usually being a part of human society when dealing with supply and demand of food resources.

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

While dealing changes by culture, humans are usually closer to Dwarves and Halflings usually closer to Elves, as a result Halflings often have a mistrust of Lycans and Dwarves, yet because of proximity often deal with Dwarves for business.
