Ghostwise halfling

Ghostwise halflings were the most uncommon of Toril's three major halfling subraces.

Personality
Ghostwise halflings were generally very concerned (some might say obsessed) with family and clan. They do not experience as much wanderlust as the other halflings subraces.

Abilities
This subrace of halflings had the unique ability to communicate telepathically with any creature within of them that spoke the same language. Additionally, it was moderately more common among the Ghostwise than other halflings to display psionic powers. Such Ghostwise typically took up the life of a psychic warrior or a wilder.

Combat
Many ghostwise halflings were barbarians. In the Chondalwood, some ghostwise halfling warriors became nightgliders, warriors who rode giant owls.

Society
Ghostwise halflings were very elusive and were generally isolated from the outside world. They often lived a nomadic life in clans. Those who left the clan often carried a token of some important natural feature in their clan's territory, such as a stone or a vial of water from a stream. Losing one's token was considered a sin and required an act of atonement assigned by the clan leader.

Hin Ghostwars
Along with the lightfoots and stronghearts, ghostwise halflings were one of the original tribes of the Lluirwood in Luiren.

Around, a ghostwise halfling cleric named Desva began leading the ghostwise in the worship of Malar and violence, performing savage acts on the creatures and other halflings of the forest. In, the stronghearts and lightfoots allied against the ghostwise and battle continued for years until Chand of the stronghearts slew Desva in. Most of the surviving ghostwise left Luiren for the Chondalwood, making an oath that they wouldn't speak until they had atoned for their savagery.
