Golden Halfling

a.k.a. Amberhair Halfling

Personality

Amberhairs are creative and adaptable creatures that somehow manage to retain their own identity regardless of change. External happenings are unlikely to remain in good humor even in the midst of disaster. Others often describe them as "didactic," and Azravan frequently act like they hold some secret knowledge, the lack of which makes other ignorant and savage.

Physical Description

Golden Halflings are the same size as lightfoot, but their ubiquitous rich golden locks give them away. Their eyes might be blue or even green, but a twinkling chestnut is more common than any other color. They tend to have tiny features, except for their large, observant eyes.

Relations

Golden Halflings prefer the company of long-lived races such as elves. They respect dwarves, hobgoblins and gnomes, but they dislike half-orcs. However, they are most at ease with other halflings.

Alignment

Far and away most Golden Halflings are lawful and good. Those not lawful are still likely to be good. Their cultural discipline, harsh punishment for crime and love of life influence, if not actually decrees, their alignment. Those given into chaos are among the more creative golden halflings, they have chosen the path of questioning society.

Golden Halfling Lands

Golden Halflings are currently concentrated in the Lopoliti Mountains, surrounded by dinosaurs, rocs and other ancient creature. Their strain is strong, however, and seemingly pure Amberhairs appear in areas where their racial stock once dominated; Shyff, Pekal, the Dopromonds, Dudera and the banks of the Jorakk River.

Religion

The Lopoliri Amberhairs favor worship of the Holy Mother above all others, Although individual halflings worship a wide variety of gods and godesess. The most popular are the Peacemaker the pacifist sect, the Pure One and The Riftmaster.

Languages

The Golden Halflings dialect of the halfling languages is fluid and descriptive, having nearly twice as many words standard halfling. Scholars write their works in Celestial, but translate them into halfling and Merchant's Tongue within a few years

Adventurers

Unlike many adventures who seek to learn, Golden Halflings might adventure to teach. They enjoy telling others about their belief that halflings were the original intelligent race of Tellene, much older than elves or dwarves. Their stories focus on the halfling heritage of their current location, such as how halflings once farmed here or fought a battle there.
