Half-Men / Halfling

Half-Men, often time called Halflings (as a less “offensive” name) live mostly in the Evergreen; an area just outside of the Skytree Forest (home to the High Elves). Halfmen are extremely peaceful people, wanting very little to do with adventure, profit, status. For the most part, Halfmen are content to be farmers. Some Halfmen, however, who have been exposed to the constant flow of people venturing into the lands, have taken an interest in “the rest of the world.” A benefit to Halfmen is very few people in a busy city ever seem to notice them, thinking them to be children. This has given many Halfmen the ability to become quite good and picking pockets, and what not. (Though most Halfmen do not see this as a crime; as in their own community, they shared with one another what was needed – whether it was food, leathers, anything). Halfmen tend to have brown to reddish hair.

  • Halfmen are frequently named simple sounding words (Hallo, Belton, Jurry), though some do adopt the idea of combining existing words (Greentree, Stareyes, Autumbreeze, etc).

Ghostwise: These are halflings who originated from the Feywild and entered Kne’Urth sensing other Halflings among the world. The Ghostwise halflings during their time in the Feywild, often used telepathy to communicate, finding words would often cause confusion – where as sending thoughts with emotion could be clearly understood. Ghostwise are extremely rare, numbering less than a thousand throughout the entire world, and have learned that the people of Kne’Urth are far too chaotic to their liking and so they’re very untrusting of the general population.

Lightfoot: These are the most common types of halflings who are seen wandering around the world of Kne’Urth. As a lightfoot halfling, you can easily hide from notice, even using other people as cover. You’re inclined to be affable and get along well with others. In the Forgotten Realms, lightfoot halflings have spread the farthest and thus are the most common variety. Lightfoots are more prone to wanderlust than other halflings, and often dwell alongside other races or take up a nomadic life. In the world of Greyhawk, these halflings are called hairfeet or tallfellows.
