What does Halflings call themselves?
I mean, If they where the original people of Athas, then what are they the half of? So they must have another name for themselves, but it seems the Wanderer doesnt know. Its not mentioned in either his Chronicle or the old Journal. I thought that guy knew everything.... appearantly he's just as scared of us at the rest of his kind...

He was the sort of person who stood on mountaintops during thunderstorms in wet copper armour shouting "All the Gods are bastards." -Terry Pratchett
No idea where to find it. In the past I printed a .txt version of it...its no longer on google.
It doesnt however say anything about their name for themselves. Doesnt mention it with a single word.
The original halflings called themselves the Rhulisti. The Rhul-thaun are descendants of them. And lastly, the modern day halflings are descendant from the Rhul-thaun.
Does sound plausible, but where do you know that from?

If you read the histories at the beggining of such books as Preservers and Defilers, and City by the Silt Sea, plus the Timeline, its clearly indicated that after the Blue Age ended, two things happened with the halflings: one part hid from the Brown Tide in subteranean cities, or through hibernation, or by moving to the Jagged Cliffs; everyone else lost their lifeshaping knowledge and became people similar to the newly minted elfes, dwarves and humans. That second group of halflings, from that point on, lived in the cities of the Rebirth races, until thousands of years passed and they grew more and more primitive, until you reach the modern period in which halflings do not exist in the cities, and their only cultural identity is that of nature-loving jungle-living savages.
On a side note, curse the day I signed up for this message board without checking how to spell Ruhl-Thuan.... some sage I am
.without checking how to spell Ruhl-Thuan
That way to spell it wouldn't have helped you much either. :P
