Pronunciation: ver-DAYN-ee-ah
Long ago, the city of Verdania was the heart of the halfling ancestral homeland. However, it was destroyed many years ago by dragons, and the ruins remain largely uninhabited today.
As a result, halflings have dispersed across the world, to live among other cultures. However, they retain strong cultural bonds, including a traditional greeting when they meet other halflings, “Caern trebig Verdanàin”, meaning “Hail, traveller from Verdania”, with the usual response being, “Caern voraek”, meaning “Hail, wanderer”.
Halflings might have names like Brandywood, Fastolph, Tolme, Gauwis.
