    Well, according to the Havens of the Great Bay accessory, the temples in
    The Burrows (which I will assume is the authority on halflings, since it
    is the only halfling domain in Cerelia) believe in a special faith.
    Their faith "centers on respect for the land and the barriers between
    this world and that of the shadow." In The Burrows, this faith is called
    Land's Protectorate. What it is called elsewhere isn't said.

    Elsewhere I imagine the halflings follow the predominate faiths of the
    humans, since it is said that they often make up a sizeable population in
    human domains, but there is never mention of a halfling faith.

    Yet another question, to which an "official" answer would be nice (if
    there is one). The halflings on Cerilia are from the Shadow World, but
    do they worship "regular" halfling deities, or does their mimicry of the
    surrounding cultures include religious worship?

    It's been my stance that, since dwarves of Cerilia worship Moradin and many
    humanoids worship Yeenoghu (sp?) and other humanoid deities, halflings that
    worship anyone worship halfling deities. I would not be surprised, however,
    to find halflings worshiping human deities. I know for a fact that there
    are a couple of halfling characters in HAVENS OF THE GREAT BAY that worship
    human deities--particularly Ela.

    Good points. I remember writing up the Burrows that way mainly so that you,
    the players could decide whether they had something of an esoteric religion
    or whether you wanted to plug in halfling deities.

    As far as Ed misspelling Yeenoghu - hrmm.. does it matter, He is the target
    of my current character in GHawk, I thoroughly intend to add the eppithet
    (sp?) "Godslayer" or have it in my epitaph.
