Character idea: Bantam
Jul. 29th, 2011 07:08 amBantam, level 1 halfling druid from the town of Pleachy Hawthorne
Pleachy Hawthorne was founded by a druid named Hawthorne, who wanted to build a village that built upon existing wilderness instead of completely displacing it. Houses are dug into the ground or built out of stone and earth and roofed with sod. Plows are never used - tilling is done by keeping chickens and pigs in the appropriate areas to turn the earth. Compost is a way of life.
Bantam chickens are kept by most families. Some miniature sheep graze around the orchard, providing wool and enough milk for lovingly crafted cheeses. Diminutive pigs provide tilling power and bacon. Fruit trees, nut trees, and berry bushes are encouraged, and the gardens are planted with cover or kept safe with mulch.
The village of halflings has prospered. Now, the younger generation is a bit restless, with some of them ready to go out and try their wings. Bantam, one of two apprentices to Hawthorne, is among those with the urge to travel.
