Physical Description: Gnomes are a race akin to dwarves, but are much smaller in both height and girth. They stand from about 3.5 to 4 feet high, but with significantly larger noses than dwarves. Most gnomes have white hair, except for the svirfnebli (or deep gnomes) which have no hair at all, and have dark tan skin. Gnomes are more magical creatures than dwarves.

Attitude: Gnomes are a jolly bunch, with lively and sly senses of humor. They have a love of living things as well as finely wrought jewelry and gems, since gnomes spend much of the time mining for gems and compete in methods of gem polishing and cutting. Their diminutive stature has made them suspicious of the larger races (elves, humans, and southrons), and are sly and conservative with those they do not know and trust. This however does not keep them from being inquisitive and curious fellows.

Whereabouts: Gnomes are especially difficult to find throughout the Empire, being so reclusive. A few gnomes are hermits, but a small settlement of Svirfneblin, or deep gnomes, has been found recently in the caverns below Thyatia. There are also rumors of a Svirfneblin city deep in the underdark.

Racial Abilities: Gnomes are very intelligent creatures and filled with magical ability. As such they can memorize spells much quicker than other races. Their small size hinders them from carrying heavy loads.
