Are house members of the wrong race (for instance: half-elf children of Phiarlan or Deneith parents) accepted as members of the house or are they cast out (or something else)? I know they wouldn't be able to manifest the mark of their "house," but they could always help with more mundane house duties. What's the score?

According to the ECS, there are half-elf, and even half-orc, members of the human or elven (in the case of half-elves) Houses. They may never manifest a Mark (unless its an Aberrent (sp?) one), but in Business, Family follows the 17th Rule: You don't have to pay relatives minimum wage. :)
