Faces of the Forgotten North excerpt: Rohorind halflings
Rohorind halflings are usually found in the Rohorind Forest, but might also be encountered in the western White Mountains.
History
Rohorind halflings descend from refugees that escaped the ruins of Basrai during the Cleansing Wars. Like most halflings of the Forest Ridge, they have forgotten most of their ancient history in the struggle to survive. Those Rohorind halfling tribes that were driven from Oronha Valley do remember that part of their history, and retain a special hatred for Kurnans.
Environment: Rohorind halflings inhabit the Rohorind Forest, located near Kurn, in huts built in the canopies of the Rohorinds massive trees.
Typical Physical Characteristics: A Rohorind halfling is about 3 to 3 1/2 feet in height and weighs around 55pounds. Their hair and skin is usually covered with leaves and natural dyes.
Alignment: A Rohorind halfling is often neutral. Typically, 50% of a tribe will be neutral-aligned, and 40% will share the alignment of the tribes leader. Like Forest Ridge halflings, Rohorind halflings tend to have no mercy or pity towards non-halflings, and they are fiercely loyal to each other within their tribe, but unlike the halflings of the Forest Ridge, they often war with other halfling tribes.
