Gnomes

Their name for themselves in their own language is gnodyoi.
Gnomes are to be found throughout Erdde . They travel long distances and are renowned as traders and merchants. In The Empire , the gnodyoi can be found in almost every state, in almost every town of any size, but never in large numbers. They enjoy the company of people of other races and are quick to learn other languages.
The gnomes are even on good terms with the Hobgoblins of the Glorious Republic , and are allowed free passage through their territory.
