The Halflings

Race in Aveïn: Im’Lin
Nation: Smewhabble (See Nation Chart)
Name Singular: Halfling
Name Plural: Halflings
History:

Chapter 1, Creation

At the day of Creation the Halflings were uncertain that they were very much alike the other races, and when the ogres revolted they fled to a place that would be their home, Smewhabble. Here they found the base for what would be called the Northern Academy of Magic. The Halflings thrived and took a lot of students in from the other races, but the Academy wouldn’t reach its peak of power until centuries later.

Chapter 2, Arcanum

When the Drow seceded from the Galin in the year 214, the Halflings got afraid, and expelled all elves from the school. The elves, most of them sympathizers of Mir’Luin and the rebellion, got bitter and moved to the south, there they founded the Southern Academy of the Higher Arts. The ties with the Galin got renewed and the power and influence of the Northern Academy grew. When Finglos started his massive project to defend the Northern Lands with the biggest Ardeo/Crystalis ever made, the Halfling magi were eager to join in to help. When the Crystalis was complete the popularity of the Northern Academy rose to an absolute high, and nothing matched the beauty and majesty of the school.

Chapter 3, Solitude

After the war for the Crystalis, the Halflings were afraid of the Southern Lands more than ever before, and decided to reinforce their defenses by building magical traps inside a forest that was called the Barrier Woodland. No one could get through this forest anymore, besides the Halflings, so they were safe. But then disaster struck, the massive powers wielded attracted a ferocious kind of creature called the Baki to the forest, where they infested the underground tunnels and caves that were scattered under Smewhabble. The storms that haunted the seas around Smewhabble grew worse, and the Halflings effectively got isolated from the rest of the world.

Current Status

The halflings of Smewhabble have lived for years behind the ominous safety of the Black Woods. Now that the first explorers have come through, Smewhabble has once again restored contact with the outside world, and has taken in the education of all aspiring magic users in the Northern Academy of Magic.

Physical features

Size: Up to 4’8, fast minded and agile. Skin tones: Pale pink. Facial Features: Halflings have blonde or black hair, which turns gray around their 50th year. Eyes can vary between blue, purple, and white, as well as brown and green. They have small noses and ears, and often resemble bearded little children.
