Gnome

Thought to be wiped out from the devastation of Uelrog, the Gnomes have actually been living out their lives in the Arcanarium on the continent of VIS. Brilliant inventors, the Gnomes perfected the combination of magic and technology, which has supported their civilization for a great many years. With their use of the Gates of Passage, they’ve traversed out into the world for inspiration toward new inventions.

Gnomes are highly advanced from both a technological standpoint and a magical one, and have merged the two art forms into what they believe is a perfect harmony referred to as Magi-tech. They often act fun loving, carefree, and playful, however there is a an underlying hint of cynicism and deviousness that sometimes manages to peek through their personality which is awkward and sometimes even creepy. Gnomes prize innovation over anything else- a life is expendable, while magi-technological advancement is not.
Gnomes have a rather quirky style of dress in the eyes of most other races. They prefer fitted tops to avoid accidents while working and often wear scarves, masks, and goggles for protection. Many replace parts of their bodies with magi-technology, either out of necessity, to improve functionality, or to make a fashion statement. It is not uncommon to see Gnomish clothing adorned with working mechanical pieces, or accessories made out of spare parts of salvaged inventions.
