Specie: Gnome
These forest-dwelling Gnomes thrive beneath ancient canopies and shimmering magical sources. Small, curious, and deeply attuned to enchantment, they live in hidden, high-magic glades—like Ælyris or the mystic woods of Myrandale. They maintain friendly ties with Fey courts.
Specie overview
Physiology : Gnomes are diminutive, standing around 3–3.5 ft tall, with expressive eyes, and subtly pointed ears. Their hair hues—earthy greens, warm browns, deep auburn—often mirror the forests they inhabit.
Deameanor : Whimsical yet perceptive, they carry a sparkle of intelligence and wonder. Their humor is light, sometimes mischievous, and often centered on discovery and hidden secrets.
Outlook : Gnomes value knowledge and harmony. They are shy toward the outside world and tend to avoid grand politics or war, preferring to preserve natural magic and live in close-knit communities.
History : Having settled in hidden groves long ago, Gnomes carved communities where magic and nature flow seamlessly. Their partnerships with the Fey and skill with illusions and enchantments keep their glades safe. Though they rarely travel, their presence is a quiet but potent force in the natural balance.
Adventurers : Some gnomes venture beyond their secluded homes, driven by curiosity and a love of magic. They explore ancient places, study wonders, and often serve as clever guides, sages, or tricksters in the wider world.
Typical Name : Gnome names are quite melodic despite their harsher tones. They also carry a clan name, passed down through generations.
