Forbidden Lands Players Handbook

ancestors were tricked into taking the orcs as
servants in exchange for a piece of the land you
have forged, but the useless beasts betrayed you
as soon as the inevitable war broke out. Humans
are false and many, but so are lice, while
you are the chosen workers of the god Huge.
You chase the vermin with weapon in hand,
and the work continues. Only the younger of
your kin are lured into the harsh light of the
world, and run around like wheezing humans
without goal or purpose.

HALFLING
Everyone is happy and tubby in your family.
They sing humorous songs in the inns, and
drink and smoke, but when darkness falls they
vomit in the flowerbeds and go home to beat
their children. Your crazy aunt is locked up,
and no one wants to acknowledge your even
more twisted relatives even though everybody
knows they are out there in the woods. You
clean the flowerbeds and oil the wooden facade
of your burrow so the neighbors will see it and
be forced to go out as well, and everyone smiles
and nods, even though they hate and slander
each other as soon as the opportunity arises.
