The March

==Overview==
The March is a sovereign state of Ardadain, and home to the Haeflar- a group of Halflings who have pledged fealty to the King. The Haeflar, led by the two brothers Folco and Bolco Fairfield, left the Riverfolk of Calendrudor to escape the Daenorrim, who had taken over Snake-Spire and Death-Pass. The Deanorrim were making frequent raids along the Riverlands, and some of the Haeflar wandered west, into Ardadain, in search of more peaceful pastures. The King welcomed them, and gave them their own land to rule, as long as they swore fealty to him. The Haeflar have since developed a quasi-Ardanian lifestyle, becoming a group of rustic- farmers and landholders. The various tribal leaders have since become the gentry, traditionally important families who own large estates.
The March is a peaceful land, and the Haeflar take little interest in the affairs beyond their border. They keep to themselves, rarely venturing outside the March, and enjoy a quiet existence of farming and eating. The Haeflar elect a Theign every four years to rule over the land, paying only lip-service to the 'King in the North.' A few of the higher-born hobbits Occasionally venture up to 'Nob-Hill' (Bar-Stim) for tournaments and official meetings, but this is rare.
The lands of the Haeflar are untroubled, and they are content to remain the same; They rarely travel south, to the Reed-Fence (the Redding Swamp), as they fear the soldiers there. However, they understand that beyond the swamp are Mizanians and that the men are there to protect them. Only once have the Haeflar gone to war, helping the King in his battle against the Morrim. The Haeflar, following the King, were not very effective, and their slings did little other than amuse both sides.
