Gnome
While most of the Legacy beings are the combination of others, gnomes are pure Dwarf, of the line of one particular Dwarf of the second generation, Sarndis, and she from the line of the first Dwarf. The gnomes are the primary inhabitants of one of the four regions of Nidavellir, Sarn Hollow, in the south along the Midgard border.
They are the tinkerers and machinists of the dwarves, but due to their incredible usefulness in this regard, pockets of Gnomes are spread out through the majority of the Realm, at least in the temperate regions. On the other hand, there are some that walk the old ways before Gnomish technology advanced beyond the manual ways in the rural parts of the Realm.
