Half-Folk, Kinder

Half-Folk are small, nimble people with fuzzy brown or black hair. Though they are small compared to most other races they are not nearly as frail as they appear. Their cheerful optimism (or wily cunning) gives them a “never say die” attitude that makes them more than a match for creatures twice their size. Half-folk see no reason to invite trouble and tend to live in their own close-knit communities far off the beaten path.

Half folks, with the help of Z' An-Ya, evolved into the wonderful race they are. They come from the wind swept plains where the land was tillable. The Ice-age meant most land was frozen but the Shire had a 90 day growing season. They cultivated mostly root crops, where even in the hardest of winter months, the Half-folk could harvest from below ground, pulling the tubers into their burrows.
They live in large interconnected complex of tunnels and burrows where everything is shared. They have no concept of personal property. The only time they respect individual property is when someone declares an item as "My Favorite" or if the property is a cherished gift, and declares "This was a gift from my Father."
