Gnomes and dwarves - intertwined lives.

"You won't find a gnome without a dwarf lurking nearby aye? But you may find a dwarf on their own. Gnomes are smart like that" - Ricter Granmarsh head of the goldmasters guild   Tied together   Where one race is - the other is close behind when it comes to gnomes and dwarves. They tend to live in mixed groups, underground and near to bodies of water in general.   They are a matriarchal race, with women tending to be the leads in government and familial matters.   Both races pride themselves on craft and creation are seen as an almost religious expression.   If you want a craftsman then look no further than these two races.   They view water as divine and revere it as such - the creation of items involving water is seen as holy.   Dwarves tend to view gnomes as needing protection and can be almost clingy but some gnomes view this a stifiling and become masters of stealth to get away from their over protective 'bigger siblings'.
