Halflings are not blessed with long life—the eldest recorded individual, [[Old Mother Chimesbury]] lived to the grand age of 72. Typically, most halflings live no more than into their late fifties, with perhaps the halflings of Ej living a little longer

The first more detailed records of the halflings come from the [[dwarf]] archives. In the year 927, [[Naprastor]], a chronicler in a dwarf hold on the western edges of the [[Mountains of Abkhazla]], wrote that a detachment of rangers encountered a group of odd creatures camped on the edge of the hold’s grazing lands.


More accounts from [[dwarf]], [[elven]], and [[human]] sources record similar encounters in the following years. Several of these note that although the halflings would normally try to avoid trouble, but if forced to fight they did so with an unexpected ferocity. So much so that one human record dubbed them ‘[[Halfling|The Wolverine People]]’.

It was during the second millennium after the [[God War]] that the halflings adopted wide-scale use of both the wheel and writing, apparently learned from the elves, and gleaned from the dwarfs whose engineering they appeared to admire. Most of their crafts were of wood or linen at this time as their wandering lifestyle made crafting metal difficult. Halflings had therefore traditionally acquired most of their metal tools and weapons through trade. Rapid learners, halflings seemed to have an innate talent for tools and figuring out how things worked and so it’s no surprise that they began to have a reputation for ingenuity and tinkering.
