Nomadic Halflings commonly roam the plains of Atlantia, but are often found on Animas, Dinoterra, Avalonia and Tir fo Bryn as well. Their ancient home was destroyed during the Chaos Wars, so they now travel in search of a new one. The true reason that they travel has been lost to the ages, although a few bards say they remember. Some even say that they are Geased to travel until they make up for an ancient wrong.
They are commonly driven from nearby towns after they have traded because they have a bad reputation for stealing anything that isn’t nailed down (sometimes things that are). Their communal society doesn’t have the same respect for property as most settled folk, they practice a share and share alike with everything. If it’s just sitting around not being used than it must not be wanted or needed. At times they pick up pretty objects and just walk off, and so are accused of stealing it.
They are often accused of cult worship, children stealing, or worse. They love to party, and others are attracted to this way of life, so follow the Travelers to join them.
