Halfling City-States

Sparse and scattered, the autonomous city states of the halflings are removed from the rest of the Rovain Kingdom. The halflings are peaceful people, and it has been tradition for eons that their cities and the rest of Rova coexist without interacting significantly. Halfling cities pay minimal taxes and give no children to the Rovain military, and in return they are famously hospitable to travelers passing by their lands.
