Goblins are in awe of the elves, but take full advantage of elvish tolerance to play their pranks. Humans are considered easy marks by the goblins. Goblins will typically take such occupations as Beggar, Craftsperson, Slave, Small Trader, or thief. They can live to be 120 years of age. Halflings are sedentary by nature, preferring to keep to their homes in the hills, enjoying good meals with friends gathered round the fire.
Adventure is anathema to the average halfling.
History does however, make note of many halflings who don't fit this stereotype. When a halfling choses to follow a more dangerous path, they can make surprisingly capable adventurers, and have often steered the shape of history from behind the scenes. Elves and halflings get along quite well, as halflings are enamoured of the beauty of that race. Halflings and dwarves both share a mutual respect for the sensibility and stability of the two races. Halflings are wary of humans and their raging passions, but get on well enough with them.
