Hin Ghostwar

The Hin Ghostwar (also known as the Hin Ghostwars and the Ghost War ) was a long conflict between the ghostwise halflings and the allied strongheart and lightfoot halflings in the Lluirwood in Luiren.

Background
The three halfling subraces (lightfoot halflings, strongheart halflings, and ghostwise halflings) were originally nomadic tribes of the Lluirwood in Luiren who shared their resources among each other.

Events
Around -100 DR, 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 -68 DR, the stronghearts and lightfoots allied against the ghostwise and battle continued for years until Chand of the stronghearts slew Desva in -65 DR.

Results
Most of the few surviving ghostwise left Luiren for the Chondalwood, making an oath that they wouldn't speak until they had atoned for their savagery. They organized into familiar clans and became more isolated.

Many lightfoots, horrified by the war, chose to leave Luiren and spread across northern Faerûn and mixing with other races. This made them relatively common throughout Faerûn.

The stronghearts remained in the Lluirwood and began building permanent settlements. Their wanderlust remained, so they developed a semi-nomadic lifestyle where families often relocated.
