Gnome

Outside of the city, a small encampment of halflings and gnomes has been established. The two groups found each other in the wilderness and have been wandering for centuries looking for a safe haven. Upon finding the city they thought they had been saved, and implored the Council to grant them asylum. That was ten years ago, and since then the population of the halflings and gnomes has continued to dwindle through attrition. The Council are not ones for swift decisions, and the perceived danger of bringing in a new racial dynamic to the city is not something they are likely to accept. While the refugees are desperate, they know their current circumstances and the small hope of sanctuary is better than what waits for them out in the wilderness. Occasionally envoys or representatives from the encampment are allowed within the City, but are always closely guarded and returned to their encampment by the end of the day.
