Halflings

The Halflings, or Fair Folk as they like to call themselves, are a diminutive race native to The Barrow.

The Old Way
Many time-honored traditions of the Halflings were done away with after the Aynish crusade, though many still prefer to cling to the Old Ways, primarily in the more isolated parts of the Barrow such as the Finmire and Mistyeels.

Child-rearing
The Halflings of old were strict, expecting total obedience from their youngers, and the punishment for disobedience could be severe. Ranging from verbal abuse, to flogging, and even death. For Halfling youths, hearing a parent say "I'll tan your hide," is a very serious threat. Stories of children being flayed for their disobedience have not gone unheard, and woe to anyone who doubts this tale.
