Elflings are the stuff of legends. Halfling legends, at least. A result of elf and hin love, elflings aren’t often seen in Faerûn. Even when one is spotted, few think the fellow is anything more but a graceful halfling.

Elflings resemble hins more than elves: they are short and merry. They’re considerably prettier and more graceful than normal halflings. Elfling skin and hair colour depend on the subrace of the parents, though few manage to grow as impressive moustache or sideburns as the short side of the family.

Combining the enthusiasm and love for life hins have and the aesthetical interests of the elves, elflings are often considered a blessing in the hafling community they happen to be born in. They are celebrated as gifts from the gods .Due to this, many elflings develop a strong confidence, even a slight sense of superiority. Charismatic and pleasant folk as they are, this does not make them any less popular, though. One trait all elflings have in common is the inevitable wanderlust that burns in them. Coming from both sides of the family, its allure is simply too great for an elfling to resist for long.

Virtually all elflings are adventurers of some sort. Most excel in the arts of the bard and those who don’t, often become skilled rogues. Because of their unusual bloodline, many elflings also have an exceptional tie to the Weave: a good deal of elflings manifest sorcerous powers at one point in life. Elflings are hardly ever evil in nature, being simply too good-hearted and care-free for that.
