Gnomes

Gnomes are divided into to subraces: Rock Gnomes and Forest Gnomes, each with their own distict traits.

Rock Gnomes
The Rock Gnomes of Adonnace are taller than halflings, but shorter than dwarves. They are excellent craftsman and miners, and are well known for both their mundane creations, as well as their magitechs.

During the hundred years of pain, their nation was severly threatened with destrction, and so they dug deep into the underground in search of refuge. What they found was they found was a cavern filled with the souls of a lost race of people, trapped in crystals in a past age.

With the blessing of Uerguin, their father diety, they began imbuing some of their constucts with these crystals, and gave life to the Warforged. By doing so, they were able to stave off the destruction of much of their homeland, until the day of the great cataclysm. On that day, a large part of their land sank into the seas, and many of their people were lost.

Today, there are a fraction of the Rock Gnomes there one were on Adonnance. Those that remain mourn for the loss of their people, and seek to rebuild their homelands.

Of the two sub races of gnomes, rock gnomes take more after their father, Uerguin, and as such have close ties to his other children, Dwarves and Halflings.

Forest Gnomes
Forest Gnomes are much smaller than Rock Gnomes,
