Gnomes adore animals, beautiful gems and jokes of all kind, games and
tricks. They are curious and skilled engineers. The are inquisitive and love
to find things out by personal experience. Curiosity can push them to want to
explore the world, and maybe protect the innocents.
They get along well with dwarves, who share their love of precious
objects, their curiosity about mechanical devices, and their hatred of goblins
and giants. They enjoy the company of halflings, when easygoing enough to put up
with pranks and jests. Most are a little suspicious of the taller races but
rarely hostile or malicious.
Most gnomes are good, there are most playful than vicious. The chief gnome
god is Garl Glittergold, the Watchful Protector.
