Gnome

Gnomes are clever, curious folk who enjoy tinkering and find joy in the process of creation. They live in hidden communities throughout Kyarnal Valley , while their subterranean cousins the svirfneblin live in the tunnels and caves of the Underdark.   They are often sought after as engineers and artificers for their nimble hands and creative minds. Many can be found in the towns of the Dune Sea , working as shipwrights and tinkerers. Unfortunately, they are also the prized slaves of the duergar, who would put them to work on war machines and weapons of mass destruction. As such, the gnomes have come to value community and looking out for one another, and are strongly abolitionist.   Many gnome towns in the rocky grottos of Kyarnal Valley are havens for escaped slaves and those fleeing persecution from tyrants. The difficult terrain of the region makes it nigh impossible to move large numbers of troops, a feature the gnomes use to their advantage. They tend to travel in small groups, engaging enemies with guerilla tactics and sabotage, or misdirecting them into their traps.
