'''Halflings:''' Halflings were originally from another continent further east, but a small portion of them wanted to adventure to other countries. They set off in a fleet of boats, intent on colonizing the first land they see, when a storm hit and nearly wiped them all out. About two fifths of them died. The other three fifths ended up in two different places. Two fifths of the original Lightfoot fleet landed on the Main Island. Upon seeing the colossal lizards calling the Isles home, a fourth fled back into the shallow waters, and eventually became the Shoal Halflings (more on them later). The other Lightfeet established a village in the plains, which they named Talenta. They allied with the native Saurials, and tamed a variety of Dinosaurs. Halflings are optimistic and friendly, and are usually helpful to those they encounter. Often Chaotic Good. | '''Halflings:''' Halflings were originally from another continent further east, but a small portion of them wanted to adventure to other countries.

'''Pterafolk:''' Pterafolk are a shapeshifting race of lizards that can take on Pterosauric aspects. In their natural form, they resembled beaked lizardfolk with no tails. They have the ability to change their arms into wings, or fully transform into a pteranodon. They are highly territorial, and believe the Northern Mountains are their ancestral home. As a result, they are constantly attacking the smaller Flyers in an attempt to make them abandon their village. Often Neutral Evil. | '''Pterafolk:''' Pterafolk are a shapeshifting race of lizards that can take on Pterosauric aspects. In their natural form, they resembled beaked lizardfolk with no tails.
