DoNCultBook1Halfling

Only a fool thinks of a Halfling as nothing more than a tiny bundle of silliness. Their laughter is certainly the most common sound at their gatherings, but a Halfling takes matters of war as seriously as they do any party. The long tradition of the Leatherfoot guards is a testament to their ability to take danger seriously. Conflict, however, is something that these gentle folk prefer to keep out of their daily lives, and sometimes it can be difficult to rouse a settlement of Halflings into the attitude needed to deliver a war properly. These volumes explore in-depth the traditions, symbols and organizations of Halfling war. It shows the tradition of symbols and banners used in war, focusing on insignia used on armor.

This volume takes a deep look into the modern day symbols of Halfling society. It compares them to symbols used in the past and explores the effect they have on Halfling society. It discusses the use of masks and unusual hats throughout Halfling history and how the current Leatherfoot style evolved. The main focus of this volume, however, is how those symbols effect the folk of Rivervale. It distills those symbols, through clever use of analogy and anecdotes, into one symbol that encompasses the moral and physical strength of modern Halflings.

Among the pages of discussion about these symbols is a pattern. This pattern distills the symbols of modern Halfling culture into a single insignia that has powerful meaning to the citizens of Rivervale. You know that you will be able to reproduce this pattern many times before the book becomes worn and you must replace it.

To create pattern for tailoring armor templates based on these patterns you will need this book, a large bottle of ink, a roll of vellum, a quill and a compacted backpack to hold the patterns you will make. You'll also need a book binding to do the work.
