| Description | A sworden appears to be a small male human, about 3 to 4' tall, who will, from an early age, carry a strange looking sword. A shielden the same, but female, & with a shield. |
| Procreation | Swordens with shielden create swordens & shieldens. With other pseudohalflings, it follows the mother. |
| Magic | One in a million have soul magic, but one in five hundred thousand have heart magic. Mind magic, body magic, & void are all possible. Faith is not unheard of. |
| Special Powers | Sworden & shielden are skilled fighters. They have an exceptional taunting ability, decent language learning skills, & very good fear resistance. A sworden has the ability to shape a sword the same way a shellen shapes a shell, & a shielden the same with shields. They are subject to the same wanderlust as their cousins. |
| Weaknesses | A shielden is useless without her shield. A sworden is a coward without his sword. |
| Culture | Shielden & sworden live lives of traveling mercenaries. They bond together in small units (about 10 - 15, not including children), & fight for those who hire them, or those who have the same cause as they do, or those who would benefit them. |
