The first halflings were encountered in Prace over 100 years ago. Based on their susceptibility to
nipweed, it was assumed that they were distantly related to rakasta. This assumption would later lead to a belief that halflings were
un-tainted boggarts--a goblin-like creature often found associating with gnolls. If this were the case, then halflings would have been the only species to have cured themselves from the Taint--
after separating from their tainted parent race. Experiments on this possibility, howevever, proved fruitless.
RETCON NOTE: Boggarts are nothing more than juvenile gnolls.
