Gnomes by nature are forever curious, always searching for something new. They are the smaller cousins of dwarves, with less rough features and lacking the famous Dwarven beards. They make their homes in the mountains and they are also near sighted like their Dwarven cousins but have a very refined sense of smell in addition. More tinkerers than true craftsman, Gnomes create many wonderful inventions. They are very skillful with their small, dexterous hands and their small stature often allows them to get into places that other races cannot. Many Gnomes find magic to be the most interesting mystery of them all and their highly magical attunement allows them to become powerful magi as long as their interest holds.
