Halflings

"Halfling" refers to a race; most halflings are Luperi, which refers to their heritage.

Religion
Almost all Luperi worship The Pack, although focus may differ between tribes and individuals within those tribes.

Collective History
In Year -49 of the Eternal Moon, the Luperi were attacked by the Gnoll Horde. During the war, many of them were wiped out. After significant losses, many Luperi were forced to leave their homes and join other existing settlements.

Culture
The Luperi people of the Saurian Plains are varied, consisting of seven distinct tribes.

Thornhill
These halflings make their living primarily by raising livestock and making leather. Before the desertification of the Plains, they were also known for their incredibly durable textiles known as brambleweave. Most Thornhill worship Taholo. During the Gnoll War, many fled to the Dwarven Kingdom, while others became nomadic as a necessity of constantly moving away from the Gnoll Horde.

Sunspear
The Sunspear tribe, situated along the eastern foothills, have been the protectors of the Plains from dangers from the east for as long as any can remember. Used to defending against Orcs, Gnolls, and Goblins, they were able to defend their own settlements quite well. Unfortunately, new goblin technology allowed them to fly past the Sunspear settlements and assault the rest of the plains. They are best known for their phalanx tactics, but make excellent hunters and agriculturalists as well.

Greenvalley
The Greenvalley had a primarily agricultural economy, and are merchants secondarily. They refused to flee from the Gnolls, and were eventually trapped and starved out. While there were some survivors, no settlements remained standing by the end of the war, so they migrated from the northern valleys to the Dwarven Kingdom.

Marshwalker
The Marshwalker tribe lived on the western end of the Plains, where their relative proximity to the Shyllaxian river system gave them relatively wet regions in which they were able to fish. When the drought hit, they moved fully into the Shyllaxian Delta and the surrounding marsh.

Truearrow
The Truearrow excel at hunting, which translated well to guerilla tactics when they fought back against the Gnoll Hordes. They lost most of their settlements during the war, but have begun to rebuild.

Starwatch
The Starwatch traded almost exclusively in livestock, but were known for the clay golems that they never entrusted to outsiders. They lived in the middle to northern regions of the plains. There are very few known survivors, but also very few confirmed dead.
