Hobbit

Hobbits, or Halflings, are reputed as perhaps the best liked race over all within the known world. They do not have a realm of their own, though there are many scattered Hobbit steadings through the Dragon Empire and even in the Empress's Forests where they are welcome by all but a few as honoured guests. All races seem to feel more at ease near the short folk, who themselves generally prefer a life of small comforts and regularity.

Many Hobbits however use their stereotype to their advantage to thieve and take advantage of others. In some larger cities, Drakkenhall in particular, Hobbits are viewed with a mix of contempt and profound mistrust. Yet, their people's cunning and ruthlessness when faced with impossible odds is also something recognized and respected even by city dwellers who hesitate to make an enemy of them.
