Shenn Halfling
Race: Halfling
Ethnicity: Shenn (SHEN)
Physical Description: This diminutive race averages around 3 feet in height. They often have blonde or red hair and fair complexions.
Background: The Shenn are Halflings that once inhabited the sunken lands of Shenn’valea. Most of those who survived the massive flooding caused by the Great Cataclysm migrated northward into what is now Shenshire. A lesser number remained in an area that is now the island of Shaniss. They are a peaceful, quiet people, who are very connected to nature. Generally good in alignment, they are recognized for their extensive knowledge of plant and earth lore and their expertise in gardening. The Shenn vary little in physical appearance from their cousins the Varynn and it is difficult to tell them apart, although they tend to have lighter hair and skin color. The Shenn will have little to do with the Varynn and consider them a discredit to the race of Halflings.
