 * The most humble and unassuming of Orrin's races, the Halflings of the Grand Pasture want nothing more than to relax and enjoy their lives. The green hills of the Grand Pasture are the perfect home for the Halfling people, where their quaint farming villages reside. Not much troubles the lives of the Halflings, and the majority of them are perfectly comfortable with living their entire lives in the safety and peace of their villages. Each village is governed independently, similar to the Gnomish people, but many of the villages in the Pasture are connected in some way by the wide farm fields. Simple and reserved, there are nonetheless some Halflings who find themselves drawn to the road, though they often find themselves in places where they can better indulge themselves with luxuries. They are not generally ambitious, but exceptions do exist, and many of the villains of the world have found that to underestimate a determined Halfling may lead to their downfall.


 * The Halflings have no qualms with any of Orrin's races. They find the Elves to be beautiful and sophisticated, though they think that they could benefit from relaxing once in a while. Many Halflings have Human friends, and they respect their adventurous nature but kindly ask that they keep their adventures to themselves; their stories are quite exciting enough for them. Halflings are kind-hearted and will open their homes to anyone in need, granted that they can fit inside. A friend of a single Halfling may soon find themselves a friend of a village, as they are close-knit communities. Halflings conduct trade with those who are willing to seek them out, but they do not prefer to establish caravans of their own.


 * Halflings, though seemingly simple and predictable on the outside, are often capable of much more than one (and themselves) may expect. They are good friends to have, even if they are somewhat stubborn and apt to laze around.
