Round Ear

The "round ears" are halflings with ears that are rounded off.
Generally more closed off to outsiders than the point ears. Often living in areas further away from other races, they usually conduct less trading with outsiders and are more self sufficient.
Just like the point ears, round 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.
