==Description==
The patron of Halflings, Weselayn is also the chief deity of farmers and shepherds.  This large base of followers and people who would revere him make Weselayn a fairly potent deity even if many of the other deities do not hold him in such a high regard.  Weselayn looks like a stout Halfling male, with shaggy, sandy, blonde hair that’s always in disarray.  He wears simple clothes with a simple woolen cloak.  He had somewhat shaggy sideburns and normally just the onset of a beard.  The only weapon Weselayn ever keeps is his sling.
==Basic Beliefs & Dogma==
Weselayn takes his role as the chief patron deity of the Halflings very seriously and has gone out of his way to teach his people everything he can and has taken active roles in the mortal world on their behalf more than once.  Weselayn teaches his people respect for the land and how to tend it to make crops bountiful.  He also teaches how to care for and raise animals.  How to train them and the secrets of how to properly breed stock to their fullest.  He is a home builder and a provider and takes a soft view to any seeking his aid or in distress that invoke his name.  In the end though, Weselayn is a farmer and not a warrior.  While he does as he can to aid his followers, his ability to aid in their defense is limited.  In general, Weselayn is also more of a pacifist where conflict with others is concerned.  Conflict, he says, is non-conducive to a prosperous home or good providing.
