F14: Burrow Heights
This is perhaps the most unique neighborhood m the Free City, in that all of its buildings consist of holes in the ground. It is quite popular with the city's dwarven and halfling residents, as well as those humans who have spent perhaps a trifle too much time away from the light of the sun.
F14: Burrow Heights. Burrow Heights is another unique neighborhood-in-a-neighborhood. Here, on a cluster of small mounds sheltered on the west by trees and on the east by the Millstream’s “Big Ditch,” dozens of short demihumans rent homes that have been built completely underground. Halflings from Elmshire, dwarves from Greysmere and elsewhere, and gnomes from Grossettgrottell stay here, usually on merchant or diplomatic business for long periods of time (several months to several years). Few humans wander here, simply because there’s nothing mutch to see or do. Crime is low, though a mugger or two might hide in the western trees in hopes of overpowering the smaller folk, who often carry daggers and other weapons close at hand.
DM's Notes: Characters who are foreign (short) demihumans may rent living space here. The quarters are often extensive and roomy, well-kept by a large staff of (short) demihuman housekeepers employed by Greyhawk’s Union of Laborers. Rents average 10 gp per room per month, with “apartment” sizes ranging from two to eight rooms.
