Rootfield

Rootfield is a small, peaceful halfling village, the only one of its kind outside the natural boundaries of Alfwyld Forest, where halflings typically make their homes. Located in a remote and quiet corner of Aedelore, Rootfield is surrounded by simple wooden palisades, built with the assistance of nearby humans who wanted to help their halfling neighbors feel safe. Though modest in size and structure, Rootfield thrives as a serene settlement where halflings live in harmony, cultivating herbs and embracing the teachings of their deep-rooted religion. 

The halflings of Rootfield live a life of simplicity, spending their days farming small plots of land, tending to their herb gardens, and sharing the joys of community life. Their reverence for nature and their faith guide their every action, and their village reflects this connection, with peaceful gardens, wooden homes, and a tranquil atmosphere. Rootfield is not a place of wealth or grandeur, but rather a village that values peace, spirituality, and a life in balance with the earth. Despite its distance from Alfwyld Forest, Rootfield stands as a testament to the halflings’ resilience and ability to find comfort even in lands far from their natural home.

Strangers are rare but welcomed, often finding in Rootfield a peaceful respite from the challenges of the world. While the wooden walls may seem unnecessary in such a peaceful place, they serve as a reminder of the close bond between humans and halflings, built not just with wood but with friendship and trust.
