Gnome

The gnomes are closely related to the dwarves as a race. Only in this realm will you find that gnomes grow to be somewhat taller than the average dwarf adult. They are as nimble as dwarves and wear their beards short and stylishly trimmed. They take great pride in their noses, which often are huge. Their skin is of a vibrant blue, red, or purple with as colorful tufts of hair and sparkling eyes. Gnomes do not mine or smith as the dwarves do, but take great interest in gathering information about anything and everything. They are much respected as scholars. Rumors tell of immense libraries that they gather in their treetop villas, small villages or underground in settlements. Gnomes are often interested in all forms of magic. They are a very peaceful race, going to great lengths to avoid fights or wars with other races. It is said, though, that if you push them to their limit of their great patience, they can take quite drastic actions.
