What is a Halfling?

What is the lifespan of a Halfling?

What is a Halflings physical appearance?
 
- Halflings are unique when it comes to their stature. The height of a Halfling varies from 2'4" - 3'0" ft. high and weigh 30 - 100 lbs. Halflings are not known for their combat skills due to this size, coupled with their lack of burliness. Unlike dwarves, who are short and stout, this race is short and less built. It is not uncommon to see an obese halfling, though, for they do love food and lazing about.
 
The Little Folk are famous for their hardy feet. It is a well-known fact that they avoid wearing shoes. Doing so is quite uncomfortable, as they have much thicker and more leathery feet than humans. This extra layer of skin can withstand thorns and sharp rocks. The foot of a male halfling has a curious amount of hair, that spreads over its top. Little is known why they have so much foot hair, but the halflings do not seem to question it. Their feet, in proportion to the rest of their body, are quite large.
 
The hair of halflings is often curly, or wavy, and almost never straight. It tends to range from blonde to dark brown, and on rare occasions, black. Black hair is rarely seen, and brown seems to be the color in most abundance.
 
Halflings' eyes are also quite a curious spectacle. Ranging from brown to green, to blue, with the addition of less common colors, such as violet. The most intriguing eye color is, well, in fact, a mixture of two different colors. The condition "Heterochromia iridium" is common in halflings. This means that both eyes are different colors. It is seen more often in female halflings than in male halflings, for reasons unknown. (Source: LoTC Wiki)
 
So who is Knox?
 
- In older times many Halflings believed in the Pumpkin Lord, a magical being that appears before them. He resembles a man with a pumpkin for a head and throughout history has appeared to come the Halflings in times of need. Unbeknownst to the Halflings, they had been worshipping the arrival of Knox, a deranged murderer. Many Halflings did not worship frequently, although many held The Pumpkin Lord in high regard building shrines in dedication to him. (Source: LoTC Wiki)
 
- The story of Knox began way back in Asulon when a Halfling built a secret shrine where a pumpkin sat on a throne called 'The Lord Of The Pumpkins.' Which Halflings started to pretend to worship as a joke to scare the bigguns. A few months later a character who wore a pumpkin head by the name of Knox, who had known nothing about The Lord Of The Pumpkins made an appearance in the village. A recent account of the events has followed where Knox became the prophet of the Halflings. During this time, a Halfling by the name of Tibb found the body of Knox, some Halflings believed it was their god while others did not. Then, an Elf attacked the body of Knox which caused outrage among the Halflings, the disbelievers then shouted, "If you are a God, show us!" At this point, lightning struck in-game which caused the Halflings to believe him as the true God of the Halflings. (Source: Dalek348)
