Halfling

Also known as the 'Silent Children', the halflings of Dualos are a race that tends to keep to themselves and avoid the politics of others. They closely resemble human children and could easily be mistaken for such if it wasn't for their ability to grow facial hair and the general maturity of their bodies. They are physically incapable of speech and have instead developed the ability to communicate telepathically, giving them an alien quality when dealing with other races.

During the empire of Old Primis, many halflings were recruited into service as stealthy agents in return for the halfling lands being allowed autonomy of governance. As a result over time many halflings began to reside in human lands, and they developed a bond with humans, considering them 'larger cousins'.

Religion
Most halflings in their own lands tend to follow the elemental deities of shamanism, whilst those few who were born amongst human lands have happily adopted the local religion as their own.
