Clan Barsali

Clan Barsali

A GMT-centred Halfling Player Faction

Few among the Barsali really know how long they've been travelling, but they know that they'll always keep going. The Barsali Caravan wandered the city far and wide, though none of them knew, or cared, what for.  A mix of  fortune tellers, wizened crones, brash young men and eager shysters compose the caravan, all halflings, standing up for one another and eking out an existence in the Rings. Though not afraid to hire and make friends with those of other races, the Barsali kinship and culture extends only to the inner circle of halflings who have proven themselves true members of the Clan, and each accepted in this way is named under auspices, giving strange and oftentimes confusing names. The Barsali wear these names with pride, as it gives them a sense of meaning and pride in their family.

The Barsali have been known to practice divination in many different forms, be they magical, divine or mere witchcraft, reading bones, birds and all besides, seeking to protect their caravan and their livelihoods. Common among them is faith in the Nine-Faced God, though their belief is not dogmatic, as they gladly rub shoulders with Phanaxians, El worshippers, Grandfatherites, Peterans and more.

Broken away from their caravan, the few Barsali in Ring 99 seek adventure, coin, glitz, glamour and above all, family. Ringrunning in order to catch up with the caravan, lost and alone, the wayward children of Barsali must prove their worth as true members of the Clan once more. Barsali Mercantile, in Ticker Square, seems to be the fundraising branch of this effort. Often seen setting out from the Open Door, the Barsali are, for sure, hard at work.

Clan Barsali is a player faction, so finding members and joining in game is the main way in. If you want to make a Barsali PC, contact BigCook on discord.

100% amazing. Halfling Caravaners is such an awesome D&D trope and I am in absolute excitement to see BiggusCookus hitting EFU with another dose of creative awesome.

Best of luck friend.
