Halfling
Halflings live as nomads in winding caravans, carrying trade across all nations. They have no homeland to speak of, though many tribes maintain semi-permanent residences in the Nameless Desert.
Halfling is the language of alchemy. Nearly all recipes are written in the language and use the halfling measurement system. Proficient characters receive a 20% discount when buying alchemics, like potions.
