You start in an Outpost with a Stone Wall, and two full stacks, led by Ernest and Allie Thistlewood. Two per city will generally be more than you need, though I'd put a bit more at your capitol - some jesters maybe too. Meanwhile, use Raise Militia to get some Halfling Adventurers as city defense. You're gonna want Mounted Archer researched soon as well, so that's a nice route to go. Casting Points aren't a bad research either, but don't go to deep. I recommend War Effort, Training Regimen, and Garrison's Honor to have priority. Malzua of Shyndra ( Draconian Sorcerer)įor research, I'd advise whatever a building Warlord needs, since you have some time and should make best use of it.Ernest Thistlewood ( Halfling Warlord) (Player).Fearing that our squabbling could erupt into civil unrest, Ham Binger proposed a contest: the first family to successfully settle the mounth of the Serpentine River and build a realm large enough to protect our people, shall lead the three united Halfling families. With three such conflicting personalities, the council quickly descended into chaos, with arguments and recriminations coming from all sides.

The time has come for a new kind of Halfling: a race of fighters. We need to change our ways, to stop sipping tea in our gardens while we gossip about the other families. We are builders, farmers, and watchmen, and I believe we need more than just an army. I represent our family, the Thistlewoods. The Moonflower family, who had made their riches through trade, argued that they had more experience in the way of the world, and put forward the calculating Camille. The Peacocks, an old family respected for their quiet devotion to the Allfather, were the first to present a leader the pious Roger Peacock. He calls for a council, hoping for a suitable leader to unite us. With no central leadership and with thousands of people extra to shelter, we will be unable to withstand the attack many fear is coming.Īmong the refugees is the legendary hero, Ham Binger, of the Order of Keepers. The refugees hoped to find a safe haven with us, but our Ampost colony is deeply divided along old family lines. I cannot imagine what they must have been through. The refugees bring wild tales of rampaging Orcs and Goblins.
