Halflings are nomadic, family-centered wanderers found throughout the known world. They are generally good natured, though mercurial. They are quick to laugh, to anger, and to forgive. Though they once possessed a homeland and language, both were lost during the First Empire. Since that time, the Halflings have lived as wanders and over-land tradesmen with no political organization, existing instead in matriarchal bands made up of several dozen families. Otherwise, Halflings do not interact with a larger racial community, except in passing or during irregularly called hearthwarmings.
Halflings are not "integrated" into human society in the traditional sense, but are allowed to exist there with relative autonomy under the Concord of the Highways. Both sides, more or less, have lived up to the Concord, and there is minimal animosity between the groups in the modern day.
