Halflings

No other people share a longer lived friendship with the humans of Thestra than that of the Halflings. From the original founding of Willowroot, across the river Beranid from Targonor, each race found a kinship in the other that still exists to this day.1

Just as those of Targonor were forced eastward, the Halflings as well left their home on the Beranid, Willowroot. Many outlying Halfling farms were overrun to quickly to allow their owners a chance to flee. Those that lived closer to the Beranid were able to escape, along with the caravans leaving Targonor and made their way east, over the Widow's Peaks and just past the stronghold of the dwarves.2

Religion does play a role in modern Halfling society, albeit a small one. Many customs have evolved around the worship of deities; however there are not many Halflings who have dedicated their lives to serving their gods. I witnessed a harvest song to Nobbon as well as a rather bawdy and drunken revelry led by worshippers of Tharridon. Clearly religion is not a heavily formalized affair in Rindol Field, at least nothing like what is experienced in the Temple of New Targonor.3
