Halfling

The Halflings were an attempt on Halfar's part to create a race of allies for the Dwarves. Things... did not turn out that way. Their original size was meant to create a sense of empathy between the two races, while their placement in the Goldengrass Plains offered them the opportunity to feed the Dwarves. Halfar declined to reveal himself at the start as their creator, hoping that the dominoes he had set up would fall as he intended. They did not. Halfar is great at creating things, but plans are apparently not among them. The Halflings quickly came to worship two trees: Mantowë and Nanovë. There was some long-lost squabble between the two that has fuelled several hundred years of hatred between the two groups. When Halfar learned of this, and revealed himself as their creator, he was soundly rejected by the Halflings. They were on their own path now.   At one point, the Nanovëan forces were able to push through the Mantowëans and they began cunnig down the opposing God-Tree-City. If you stood with your back to Mantowë and looked towards Nanovë, the cut would be on your left. As they cut, wounds began opening on each of the Mantowëans' left ankles. The Nanovëans were forced to retreat when a mirrored wound opened on their right ankles. To this day, each Mantowëan, even newborns, have a scar on their left ankle, and Nanovëans on their right. They often have their corresponding ankle revealed to show their scar and prove their allegiance.
