Description:
"There are certain halflings who tend to like civilized places, political houses, and the intrigue of the cities. They usually are slightly taller than the average Halfling and ears that are much more rounded. Finding themselves attached to organizations as butlers, political aids, and paperwork gophers, Houselings have found many avenues that allow them to be wallflowers but still allowed mobility in their environment. Their lingual prowess and work ethic tend to make them valuable hires even if some are suspicious of their motives."
