It was said that they were created by the nature god, Kenok as caretakers of the forests.

They were often stingy, but were often friendly with the other races of the forest, but would mind their own business from them. Living out their days healing the land so it would never die as it would continue to flourish. But when the Beastmen came that would all have changed, they began to burn the forest as they continued to move into the west and the Gnomes desperately tried to stop the damage as much of what could be save. The Beastmen were infuriated by this and began to hunt them down when they learned of their power. many were dug out of their own tunnels with no place to escape and were torn apart. By the time the Elves fled and the Humans scattered the Gnomes were all put wiped out with not a single one spared. The only things that remains of their culture are stories told by the Elves and the Forest Tribes of Ve’tal and the Under Root, though many of their tunnels have collapses many of them still remain functioning all across the western lands.
