It takes a combination of luck and persistence for an ordinary traveler to find such a place, and often that’s not enough. For those who subscribe to the idea that Yondalla actively shields her worshipers from harm, this phenomenon is easily explained — she looks out for their homes just as she protects their lives. Whatever the reason, travelers might look for a halfling village, but they fail to notice a narrow path that cuts through the underbrush, or they find themselves traveling in circles and getting no closer to their goal. Rangers who have encountered halflings or lived among them know of this effect, and they learn to trust their other senses and their instincts rather than relying on sight. So I guess that it's okay for gnomes to hide their villages but not halflings because of ... reasons.  Reasons that have never been explained.  It's in the same book, same chapter.  The description makes it clear it's some kind of supernatural effect, just more luck than explicit illusion magic.</blockquote>
