Creatures of Eonil – Creatures of Ghor – Creatures of Quintra and Denday
Where halflings are referred to as miniature versions of elves, gnomes are mostly called miniature version of humans even though a gnome would probably get angry if he or she would hear that. Gnomes are a bit larger then halflings are, they can reach almost too a humans upper chest. A gnome lives about 500 years.
Gnomes are real tinkerers. What they lack in size they tend to make up for in gadgets. They are the best engineers on Eonil. At the same time they are the race that is the least skilled in the use of magic. Gnomes can also be rather fast and quiet if they want too. It’s sometimes joked that they tend to have to steal a lot of their supplies for their gadgets and that’s why they learned to be so fast and quiet. They aren’t seen as really smart because it seems that they simply lack interest in knowledge apart from what they can use for their engineering. They take great pride in their creations and the fact that they can live independently because of that if they want too. Some people to mistake this pride for arrogance.
Gnomes do have a leader that might be considered kings of the gnomes and thus noble, as well as other gnome families in charge of things. Still they are appointed every five years through elections of popularity. Every gnome that wants a high ranking position such as that can run for the position and before the elections take place anything more or less goes as long as you don’t get caught when it’s not entirely legal. Depending on what position it is the elections are spread around on the five year periods, sometimes longer or shorter. This way they will likely be an election for something every year
