So You Want To Be A Halfling

[Valon (Yokey) 168]

So, You Want to Be a Halfling?

 

Lovely! Halfling roleplay is simple, fun, easy, and gets you invloved with one of the most fun communities on Lord of the Craft! I'm writing this guide to give everyone a Anthos-dated, recent guide that can give the accurate scoop on the Anthos halflings. Now, lets delve into what makes halfling roleplay tick.

 

 Elders

 

The halfling elders are currently a group of five. They handle management of the community both IC and OOC. These are the people to talk to if you:

 

 Want a burrow - You need a place to live! Burrows are cozy and make for a home that is so sweet it rivals chocolate. All of these burrows are managed and well built. And make sure you don't edit them a lot. I'll get to that later.

 

 Have a good idea for a small event - Want to throw a party? In the mood for a drinking contest? The elders will set you up! 

 

 Need anything - The elders will pretty much help you with anything that pops into your little mind. Be it a restock of the inn, or tidy up an area, they handle the misc. category well.

 

The current elders are:

 

Dr_Dovahkiin - Elder Bolo Willowbottom - Dovah is fun, helpful, generous, and works a lot with halfling events. He also works with forum management of the halflings.

 

Matt011011 - Elder Milo Herbwallow - Milo handles the IG administration of burrows and land. He is a great elder, and we honestly couldn't survive without him.

 

TMdeath - Elder Aris Snowbird - Aris is a newer elder, and a member of the halfling community before me. He is just as friendly and great as the other elders, and works a lot IC. He used to be the sheriff, so he knows how to handle his shovel. 

 

Dalek348 - Lenmaster Faldo Featherfoot - Dalek is a long-time elder, semi-active. He has done a bunch in the past, and simply holds the position for the most part.

 

Sorsby - Elder Tibb Fairfield - Sorsby has been elder a long time, and, like Dalek, holds the position mostly honorarily. He's an elder in not-so-retirement.

 

So yes, that's our list of brilliant elders! I'd also like to mention that you not be too overbearing. They have roleplay they'd like to accomplish too! Shall we move on to the other concepts of our roleplay?

 

Location

 

 Now, the halflings have, and will always live in the most beautiful towns in Lord of the Craft. Lenfarthing is incredible, full of nature, and gives the full halfling experience. Lets go over some misconceptions and cool stuff about Lenfarthing.

 

 The lands of Lenfarthing are not called The Vale. In fact, the Vale was Asulon. Lenfarthing is in the Dales.

 

 Lenfarthing is home to the Melon Trees, actual trees that grow melons.

 

 All burrows are round, cozy, and small. Greatest homes in Anthos.

 

 There is plenty to explore around Lenfarthing. If you go looking, you will find a bountiful harvest of builds around Lenfarthing with interesting backstories.

 

 WHAT ELSE COULD LENFARTHING HOLD????

 

Ale

 

 Drink till you drop. Down in Lenfarthing, we have all the ale, lager, wine, whiskey, brew that you could dream of. what else is there to say?

 

Character

 

 Halflings are short, between 2-3 feet in upper adolesence and adulthood. They generally have brown hair, blonde and black being more rare. Red hair is the most uncommon. Their eyes are the same colors as humans, for the most part, and they can have freckles. Halflings do NOT have pointed ears, simply rounded human-like ears. Their clothes are usually soft, weaved fibers like cotton or wool. They wear shades of green, olive, yellow, white, grey, and a wider variety of purples and blues. Their clothes are designed as vests, long-sleeved shirts, and coats. They DON'T wear shoes. I made this mistake on my first halfling. 

 

 Their appearance is not the only interesting aspect of the character. Halfling's personality's are powerful qualities in your character. A halfling is cheerful, likes to drink and eat, has a sweet tooth, and loves nature. If you include these things, you have plenty of room for your character's own qualities and quirks. 

 

END OF GUIDE  

 

Well, this brings us to the end of this guide. I hope after reading you consider making a halfling character. We get a LOT of newcomers and one day characters, so don't get a burrow unless you plan on keeping the character. Now comes the most important part of playing a halfling character. HAVE FUN WITH IT. There's no point in having any character if it doesn't entertain you. Now shoo. Go make yourself a halfling.

Very nice guide, Valon. Perhaps I will move you out of the ghetto burrows and into something a little more cozy, lol.
