Often times a child will briefly spot a small, strange figure in the woods before it laughs and disappears. Travelers passing through gnomish lands may do so without notice, only later to discover that their cook pot or tinderbox has gone missing. If they can be located, gnomish enclaves can be a good place to barter for unusual goods, but gnomes have a reputation for swindling travelers with hastily refurbished equipment, keeping their most prized wares under close guard. Gnomes rely on these interactions to keep them entertained. Without enough whimsy in their diet, a gnome will eventually die of boredom and sadness. When gnomes encounter other races they do so with unparalleled curiosity. In order to feed those curiosities, most gnomes within settlements gravitate towards being craftworkers and tinkerers. Gnomes are usually around 3 feet tall and weigh 50-60lbs. They mature around age 40 and can live to be around 200 years old.
