Point Ear

The "point ears" are halflings with ears that are pointed.
They are generally thought of as more welcoming to outsiders than the round ears. Often living in areas close to other races, they usually conduct trading with them and pay them for protection during times of war or danger.
Just like the round ears, point ears expand slowly but steadily, with new nations forming from older ones rather than conquering their neighbours. They are ruled by a hereditary Prime Minister, but it is not uncommon for such rulers to be ousted and replaced with a new line of leaders should the necessity arise.
