'''Halflings''' are a race of small humanoids that live in a region of [[The Empire]] known as [[The Moot]]. They are roughly half the height of a fully grown man (hence Halflings) and are a peaceful and rustic folk, not naturally inclined to adventure or the ways of war. They have great fondness for the simple comforts of good food and drink, a taste which lends them a rather wide frame (though they are still delicate by comparison to [[Dwarfs]]). The Halflings do have their own [[Elector]] in the governing of The Empire, [[The Elder of the Moot]], a position that currently lies with [[Hisme Stoutheart]]. On occassion, Halflings are known to go to war with the rest of the Imperial forces and usually serve either in a catering capacity (where their great fondness for culinary pursuits can be exploited) or else as trappers or scouts, for Halflings are adept at moving through undergrowth undetected.
