Halflings

Small but big in the negotiation room, halflings are known for their financial superpowers throughout the realms and for their flamboyant styles beyond their homeland. 
== Small and Flamboyant ==
It’s easy to miss a halfling in a large crowd of people, having similar heights with gnomes if maybe slightly taller on average. Being small and not noticed often, the halfling culture has taken to dressing and decorating themselves with bright colours and exotic designs when wanting to make a statement. Wearing half-capes, top hats, trench coats, funny looking ties, lace dresses, shoulder epaulette decorations and many more styles. This flamboyant style is funnily enough not seen very often when one ventures to Birmingham, where the colours are dark and dreary such as grey, black and white.
== Accountants of the Realm ==
Halflings are best known throughout the realms for two things: their bookkeeping and money making strategies. This makes them sought after allies in business, but one hopes to never have them as competition. Many compare them to wizards in such cases for their ability to manipulate the systems so well to always skim out with a profit. Worse than dwarves with their innate trait of hoarding wealth, but unlike most dwarves who keep their treasures locked up in vaults, halflings understand the value of spending their money to invest in assets to make more money.   
== The Profitable Path ==
Not all halflings sit behind a desk crunching numbers or behind shop stands. Many see the life of an adventurer as a profitable one, and unlike the one of a pen pusher, the adventuring life is actually a challenge and somewhat enjoyable. Uncovering old treasures and turning a profit on them threefold to a desperate wizard or collector of oddities. However, halflings prefer to have security in their adventuring investment and often travel in the company of a party or hire mercenaries to guard them.
