Halfings of Athas are very different from their traditional depictions.
General Description
The wiry Halflings seldom exceed 3' 6" tall and live in shamanistic tribes in the Forest Ridge . Most Halflings are very xenophobic and vicious cannibals. Rarely will Halflings leave their tribes of their own accord. Those in city-states are usually slaves.
History
Originally Halflings were the rulers of the Blue Age of Athas. They were accomplished in the art of Life-Shaping.
