DoNCultBook2Halfling

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 follows a few important symbols through Halfling history. These have been on the banners, coats of arms and signet rings of the most influential Halflings in history. Careful examination shows that these symbols are derived from a few basic shapes that are pleasing to the Halfling eye and mind.

Among the pages of discussion about these symbols is a pattern. This pattern uses those basic shapes to produce an image that any Halfling recognizes as being their, while at the same time seeming to represent what they can become. It is a symbol of inspiration and hope. 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 good quality 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.
