Editing Exploring the Halls of Arden Vul: Archontean Empire (section)

==Halflings==
Halflings are uncommon, and largely found in segregated agricultural communities. Most halflings known to the Empire live on the Grain Islands to the east of Archontea, where their agricultural prowess provides important food supplies to Archontos itself. 

Although most halflings are content with their rural lives, a few end up traveling ‘across the water’ to Archontos. These halflings are seen as rustic, and they tend to suffer some general paternalistic patronizing from Imperial citizens. Imperial officials treat halflings in a genial but patronizing way, and will assume them to be political naïfs. 

Halflings aren't much larger than 3'6" in height, are brown-skinned, and are generally athletic in build. 

Halflings have given and family names. Family names are typically derived from botanical or agricultural features. Given names vary widely, but are typically English in origin.
