Homebrew Federation Halfling Species Details

Adaptable and proud

Halflings living in the Federation have become accustomed to the living of the large cities and the usage of Hextech in the daily life. As such many Halflings find themselves working at high positions within all branches of the empire not being deterred by their short stature they can be found within the roles of diplomates, Artificers engineers and mages using their natural ability to avoid trouble and rise to the top.

 

Old ways still strong

Even though the Halflings of the Federation have adapted to their new life they still find their old ways more comfortable having strong bonds with family and still holding onto old family traditions be it baking, gardening or brewing they find pride within their traditions and bond to their family as a sign of respect and pride to their parents, siblings, cousins and for fathers.

They find the bustling towns and work a new opportunity to gain more wealth and reputation but still find the calm daily life calling to them finding most Halflings still owning their old homes on the countrysides far from the city and work as a retreat to the older days and simpler times.

Exploring Opportunities

Halflings usually set out on the adventurer’s path to study new and interesting environments, work for the Federation to gain more fame for their family name or explore a wide and wonder-filled world. For them, adventuring is less a career than an opportunity or sometimes a necessity.
