We will show them!

Intro
Somewhere in the middle of the big, wild, forest in the west, far off from any settlement or any borders, lies a round clearing.
It is not that large, but compared to the group gathered in its center, it looks gigantic.
There are 9 people surrounding what seems to be the leader of the group.
A bunch of carts and carriages were parked a few meters away, the draught animals grazing nearby.
The group's clothes look cheap and outworn, some have daggers or small swords strapped to their sides,
some the tools of their profession.

The leader looks around himself, studying the faces of the others.
He then begins to speak, his voice sounding pressed and a little higher than you would expect it from a human male.
Well, he is no human male. He is a halfling, just like the other members of the group.
The halflings eyes lie on him, tensely listening to what he has to say.
"Mean tallfolks. Chasing halflings out of town! Say halflings steal and spy. Halflings never steal! Halflings borrow! Halflings bring back... most times!"
Some of the halflings are nodding in agreement, some murmur about their unfair treatment in human towns. The leader continues.
"Greenskins are dumb and stinky, and tallfolks don't chase them away. They don't want us because we are cleverer than them! They invent lies to make others hate us! But we will show them!"
Rejoicing. He tells them exactly what they want to hear. He knows how they feel. They come from different settlements across the land.
There are some villages and towns with larger halfling populations, but most of the time there are only a couple of halflings living in a human settlement.
They have a reputation for being thieves, spies, and of course responsible for all the bad things that happen to people all the time. Well, their race tends to be drawn to that kind of activies, but most halflings are normal, hard-working citizens.
Unfortunately, small villages with their superstitions and prejudices don't make it easier for halflings to live there in peace,
and so it happens that sometimes halflings from different villages form groups and head out into unclaimed land to find a new future for themselves.
This group is one of those.
"We will build our own town! Biggest halfling town, bigger than all tallfolks towns! We will show them!"
More rejoicing. There is no going back. They won't be welcome anyway, and so the only possibility is looking forward.
"Let's begin!"


Hello there. I've decided to start a new ISG (Illustrated Suggestion Game). It's a village/colony builder, like most of my other ones.
I hope you guys will enjoy it.

Before we start with the first turn, I would like you to choose a leader from the group.
You can vote for one of the halflings and if anything should be changed - the name, age, profession, if he has any special armor or weapon - whatever you like)

Compendium

Spoiler: Chapter: Avekhi (click to show/hide)

Avekhi
Geography
Avekhi is one of the several continents on this world. It has land connections to 3 other continents.
The only access to open waters is on the Northern side.
The South is dominated by a harsh desert.
The South West consists of gigantic mountain ranges and deep valleys between the high cliffs.
There is another mountain range in the East.
The North and North East and North West have a temperate climate and lush meadows, spotted with smaller nad larger forests, lakes and rivers.

Population
The Western part of Avekhi, almost half of the landmass, has remained unclaimed due to the gigantic, thick forest and monumental mountain ranges dominating it and making it hard to colonize.
However, there are supposedly between 10 and 20 factions claiming land on the Eastern half of the continent.
Arteura
The Arteureans claim a part of the Northern coast, as well as a medium sized forest close to the coast and part of a giant lake, a hub for trading and traveling.

Spoiler: Chapter: Halflings (click to show/hide)

Halflings
Halflings and crime
Since most of the humans in this part of the world live in medieval-like societies. There are prejudices, superstition, low education. Humans see most other races as inferior, and while in communities with a large percentage of halflings those tendencies aren't as strong, they grow stronger the lower that percentage is. In a balanced community, there are as many halfling criminals as there are human criminals, and most halflings are normal people living their life. Another reason for their bad reputation in smaller communities is, that the halflings, due to the reasons mentioned above, are often being ignored and isolated by the humans and thus are more likely to turn to crime to get by.

Stealing and borrowing
For halflings it is common sense to share things with their neighbors. In a halfling community, people don't have to ask if they borrow things, and usually they bring them back when they are done using them. If they get destroyed or damaged, they will let the owner know. Unfortunately, many halflings tend to forget that humans don't handle things like halflings do, and so it happens quite often that a halfling "borrows" a tool, which the human interprets as stealing. That could add to the halflings reputation as thieves, but most of the time the "stealing" happens in good faith.

Spoiler: Chapter: Humans (click to show/hide)

Humans
Spread
Most of the humans in this part of the world live in medieval-like societies.
Many kingdoms and factions are ruled by humans and their population consist mainly of humans.

Arteureans
The Arteureans claim a part of the Northern coast as well as a medium sized forest close to the coast and the North Western part of a giant lake, a hub for trading and traveling.
They are a race of fishermen and merchants, loving to trade with their neighbors and rarely starting any conflicts.
The only rivalty exists with their North Eastern neighbor, Ulun, a cold, harsh and brutal realm dominated by tribes of half-orcs and tall human barbarians.

As I said, you can alter the person if you want.

Also, the average lifespan of halflings is 150 years. At least that of my halflings

For those of you that are interested:
Snodeddwir and Redbucirt are brothers.
Unklihuth and Togbyss are married and have a daughter, Fliraal.
Flivairwin and Klenzbyvem are married.
Those marriages happened under human law, you can always define your own laws and traditions for this halfling village.
