Halfling
Halflings are joyful, curious, and often mischievous—a people known for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but somehow turning every situation into an opportunity for fun. They're famously social, eager to attend parties, play games, and share laughter. And where there is food, there will be Halflings.
They are renowned across Elema for their culinary mastery. Many believe Halflings eat like they have three stomachs, and some of the finest meals you’ll ever taste come from their kitchens. Sharing food with a Halfling isn't just a meal—it's an experience.

Genetics and Reproduction
Halflings reproduce through male-female pairs. After a nine-month gestation, a child is born. Fertility typically ends around the age of 132.
Growth Rate & Stages
- Halflings are considered infants between the ages of zero to Six, during which time they were completely dependent on their parents for food and care. They gradually pick up mobility and world awareness.
- The next stage is kids who learn, play, and grow between the ages of 7 to 14. Although kids are not as dependent on their parents at this point, they are still present to meet the majority of their needs. However, young kids are inquisitive and beginning to understand others and themselves. People have a saying that a young child always hears and retains. These kids can and will eat you out house and home.
- Between the ages of 15 to 29, their bodies begin to evolve and develop into adults, which is referred to as the teenage years. Their physical body begins to gain figure, height, weight, and muscles. In most situations, this is also where natural magic develops. In most circumstances, they will also begin to establish their identity and become less reliant on their parents.
- From the ages of 30 to 175, they are in their adulthood, their bodies have matured, and they have a good sense of what their natural magic will do. It will continue to develop as they age, but in most cases, it has a set of talents.
- From 176 to roughly 220 years of age, they are elders; their bodies have gradually begun to slow down and become weaker, as have their magical talents if they are not kept up with. Other people regard them as wise because they have lived a lengthy life for a Halflings. This is the Halflings life cycle.
