| - Halfling Heaven is a lazy, carefree, happy village of halflings. It is situated on an island in the middle of treacherous rocky waters and has been "lost" for several generations (much to the contentment of its inhabitants). The locals distrust outsiders, especially humans. They prefer to stay in their small village with their self-sufficient economy. The village provides everything that they need, and what they don't have, they don't want. However, after a recent incident involving a ship full of convicted criminals, several of the Halfling Heaven youth set out from their homes and embarked upon what was supposed to be an easy task. The ship never arrived at its destination. Missing and presumed dead were...
* Peony Miller - cleric of Marcus, daughter of the baker and miller,
* Nimblefingers Briarfoot - the village trouble-maker,
* Meadowlark Barleywine - the farmer's daughter and a respected hunter,
* Violet Fletcher - a young druid girl,
* Tom Brewer - the innkeeper's son and a novice sorcerer,
* Sandy Fleetfoot - the village brawler, and
* Brego Taleweaver - the gaffer's only son and a talented bard. Services were held in the Temple of Saint Marcus, and a beacon had been lit in Halfling Heaven in an attempt to show the children where their home is. Since that time, those missing were discovered very much alive and have actually gotten home, left home, gotten home, left home, and are almost home again.
