Dwelling side by side with their distant cousins the dwarves in underground cities, gnomes are a diminutive, rosy-cheeked folk famed for their magical and technological aptitude.

Physical Description

Gnomes are stout humanoids who are readily identifiable by their rosy cheeks.

Personality

Gnomes tend to be friendly and helpful, if a bit soft-spoken. Most will try to solve problems without being asked for help or seeking gratitude, which generally endears them to those in their company. No one can say whether this behavior stems from a well-meaning nature, an inborn desire to "fix" things, or a combination of the two.

There is one notable exception to the gnomes' near-universal good will. They are known to loathe goblins, who have a long-standing history of raiding gnomish mines and stealing gnomish inventions.

Relations

Given their peaceful tendencies, gnomes get along well with the other mortal races of Orn. Their strongest ties are with their cousins the dwarves, with whom their culture is deeply entwined.

Gnome Adventurers

Gnomes may seek a life of adventure for a variety of reasons. Some may be drawn to the promise of treasure, particularly gemstones and precious metals for their crafts. Others may do so in order to test their latest inventions or spells. Still others may do so out of a sincere desire to help people and improve the world. However they come to it, gnomes are generally cunning and resourceful enough to excel as adventurers.

Costuming Requirements

Gnome characters must paint their cheeks rosy red. Additionally, most gnomes wear pointy hats in various styles. In fact, in gnomish culture, it is considered improper to be seen in public without such a hat.
