Gnomes

Gnomes are a small people who originally came to Exorsia from the Feywild.
They are a naturally energetic, curious and excitable people who tend to be creative and very fast talkers with minds that like to wander. They usually can’t sit still, constantly twiddling their thumbs or swinging their legs.

Names:

In Gnomish culture it's common for Gnomes to have half a dozen or so names. A Gnome’s mother, father, clan elder, aunts, and uncles each give the Gnome a name, and various nicknames from just about everyone else might or might not stick over time. 
Gnome names are typically variants on the names of ancestors or distant relatives, though some are purely new inventions.
When dealing with people outside their culture Gnomes will usually shorten their names to two or three names to avoid frustration.

Appearance:

Gnomes are short in size and can be recognised by their large heads, pointed ears and large noses.
Complexion: Gnome skin tones are similar to Humans, ranging from a light pale complexion to a dark brown one.
Hair: Gnome hair ranges from black, brown and blonde to ginger, commonly turning gray or white with age.
Eyes: Gnomes tend to have brown, blue or green coloured eyes.

Maturity:

Gnomes mature much faster than humans do, reaching adulthood by the age of 14.

Reproduction:

Gnomes reproduce similarly to Humans. They have a gestation period of approximately 5 months and Gnomes commonly come in litters of 2 - 5.
