	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 [[Ubrekti Empire]]. Since that time, the Halflings have lived as wanderers and over-land and river-boat 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]].

	Road Tribes, on the other hand, can be anywhere in size from large to sprawling. In many ways, a larger band of road halflings might operate as a small village on mule back. They are allowed to maintain herds of grazing livestock under the [[Concord of the Highways]], and often set up exotic goods bazaars outside major cities. Some bands simply go the direction the wind takes them, while others travel a regular trade route, albeit one that might take several years or more to circuit.

	Another organization structure for Halflings are the [[Hand Halflings\|"Hand" Tribes]]. This grouping, like all Halfling social distinctions, is not very well-defined, but often is ~~seem~~ to represent the more disreputable end of the Halfling extended family. Hand Halflings can be found both among Road Tribe or Boat Tribe halflings, and the Hand themselves are further subdivided into color-distinguished bands. For example, the [[Blue Hand]] are known as thriving grey marketeers who often settle in conflict zones and assume control of abandoned infrastructure, while the [[Green Hand]] abandon both road and boat and retreat into isolated wilderness settlements. The other Hand tribes are the [[Red Hand]], [[White Hand]], and [[Indigo Hand]].		Another organization structure for Halflings are the [[Hand Halflings\|"Hand" Tribes]].
