Halflings

Description : 
    Halflings of Shadlen are as described in the Monster Manual, 3rd Ed.  Though in Shadlen the subraces generally do not form separate communities and examples of all 3 can be found living together.

Origins : 
    Though the short ones do not tell of their past, we can glean some information from Ratheeri folklore.  It seems that the halflings accompanied the Ratheeri in their migration over the northern artic, and that they to spread out into the relative paradise of the great forest.  But there the similarities to the Ratheeri end, for unlike the latter the spread of the halfling race did not stop with the arrival of the Takesh or the Hradir.  Instead the halflings just took on customs of whichever race they lived with.  They can now be found throughout the human occupied areas as well as a few clans that live peaceably with the elves.

Typical Names :
    Halflings appear to quickly take on the names of other races they live near and after a couple generations most non-local names die out.
