Wenna Pellory - The Weight-Taker
It's only an afternoon, love. I'll hold it for you. You'll never miss it.
Orrin Pellwick - Go-Between of Smuggler's Bay
Orrin Pellwick is a halfling go-between who brokers the quiet bargains of Realms End. He puts every handshake on paper, tears the page in two, and keeps Smuggler's Bay's tolerated trade honest enough that everyone can keep looking the other way.
Yarrow Ashpan - Salt-Walker of the Kindlestrand and Emberstrand Coasts
A homeless halfling boils salt out of Emberfall's steaming tidepools, moving camp as each one dries, and in the process has ended up knowing who's where on both coasts.
Wendell Longbarrow - Village Elder of Lyreleaf
No throne, no garrison, no seal of its own -- just a halfling elder named Wendell Longbarrow, who has kept Lyreleaf self-governed and safely beneath Brightcrown's notice for six careful years.
Tilly Marrowgate - Road Warden of Lyreleaf
At the edge of Lyreleaf where the road turns to mist and reeds, halfling warden Tilly Marrowgate has spent eleven years making sure every cart bound down the southwestern road is exactly what it claims to be.
Poppy Windle - Shrine-Keeper of Haltcross Hamlet
At Haltcross Hamlet's corner shrine, halfling caretaker Poppy Windle tends icons of Thraia, Verda, and a wayward tide-goddess alike -- treating every traveler's faith with exactly the same quiet respect.
Nella Lightfoot — Message-Runner of Edgewood Garrison
Small, fast, and stubbornly reliable, Nella Lightfoot carries Edgewood Garrison's dispatches to Greenbranch and Brightcrown and back -- and knows shortcuts through the Weald she's never told the garrison about.
Pip Quillfeather — Storyteller of Greenbranch
Greenbranch's evening storyteller, Pip Quillfeather keeps the village's memorial dead honored and its legends -- including a certain gnoll's -- growing a little taller with every telling.
Hesper Stallwright - Coordinator of the Makers' Market
Meet Hesper Stallwright, the halfling coordinator whose ledger and whistle keep the Artisans' Ward's Makers' Market running fair and orderly -- a brisk, warm NPC for market disputes and everyday Brightcrown business.
Darro Finch – Crown Intelligencer
"The records office is fascinating, really. You'd be amazed what people will say in front of a halfling with a quill. We have very unthreatening faces."
Rook Fenwater – Smuggler / Logistics Fixer
“I don’t move goods. I move misunderstandings.”
Fenra Underbough – Halfling Lantern-Keeper
