Gnomes
Gnomes are jovial and mischievous by nature, but are extraordinary engineers. They are close friends of the Dwarves as they dwell in the same location of Midterra, although they are not a part of the Ember Stone Pact. There is a friendly agreement between the Gnomes and Dwarves though. The Gnomes supply the Dwarves with great contraptions, and the Dwarves in turn offer protection from outside influences. This leaves the Gnomes to a simple and industrious existence, but an enjoyable one free of worry. Though they work hard, they hold weekly festivals to celebrate their achievements made throughout the week. During these festivals, the whole town shuts down and enjoys a well earned respite. Often times showing off contraptions made just for the occasion.
Additional Information
Social Structure
The Gnomes' social hierarchy mainly comes from time spent in the trade as well as engineering prowess. A poor Gnome might be famous for a creation of great importance or use, for instance. Gnomes hold intelligence, science and rational thought in high regard. They also find great joy in a good joke or prank and whimsical trinkets, and will often create reputation based off such. They see outsiders as a welcome crowd to show off their creations, as well as potential customers.
