Halfling

From Kings of War Wiki


The Halfling are a shorter humaniod race that live in the Shires

About

West from Letharac, is the city of Eowolf, the centre of an alliance of small city states. The undulating and peaceful halfling shires border the alliance to the north and west.

With fields of soft wheat, gurgling streams, and bountiful orchards nestled in the combes of gentle hills, the shires are seemingly bathed with an almost unnaturally golden sunlight, even during the winter months.  

Long-time neighbours, the halfling shires joined the League several decades after its rebirth. Originally just local trade partners supplying food and tools. However, due to some extremely harsh winters followed by a devastating plague in Rhordia, saw the shires sheltering refugees and providing much needed aid.

In return, the shires gained a seat on the Council of Rhor and a place in the League. Which they rotate between their shire captains.

The preconception of halflings as gentle, unconcerned folk, careless of the world around them, is mostly unfounded.

While they hark from an idyllic and bucolic homeland, they are acutely aware of the dangers that surround them and the threat of raids and marauding warbands of greenskins. To this end, the shires have a conscription program, enforced by their recruitment sergeants, ensuring that they fulfil their obligations to the defence of the League. While the contingent of halflings within the League is now at a bare minimum in terms of what membership demands, there are still many committed units in all the states, with the Braves forming the core of the support they provide.  

Members of the League for well over a hundred years, the shires have become the breadbasket of Rhordia and the loyalty, cunning, and ingenuity of the halflings are highly valued by all League members. In the decades that have followed their joining, many of the states grew to have significant halfling populations and their appearance became commonplace everywhere across the lands of the alliance.

Halfling Timeline

However, in recent times, there is disquiet in the shires and, within the halls and burrows of the assembly, whispered conversations talk of seceding altogether. There is discontent due to the increasingly isolationist and nationalistic politics and sentiment they believe is infecting the Council and some of its more influential members.
