Shortlings

Shortlings are a race of short humanoids that arrived to Alderheim on the great pilgrimage. Along with the Tieflings they were key in the invention of firearms. There are two known subraces of shortling, dwarves and halflings.

Dwarves are pure blood shortlings, who tend to stick their traditions of their ancestors.

Halflings are shortlings who have mixed ancestry of dwarves and another humanoid. This has led them to be explorers seeking new challenges and experiences.
