From Krakiipedia, the unofficial free GemStone IV encyclopedia.
Halflings are one of the smallest races in Elanthia. They tend to enjoy the simple pleasures of life, such as food and family. A key trait of every halfling is their large, hairy feet, often very well groomed. However, don't let their size, kindness, or feet fool you. If they are threatened, they are a considerable adversary. Yes, due to their size, they are physically quite weak, but they have great fortitude and compensate this flaw through unparalleled dexterity. They can fire a bow or hurl a lightning bolt with devastating accuracy.
There are four cultures among the halflings; the Paradis, the Brughan, the Mhoragian and the Malghava.
