Gnome Kingdoms

Gnome Kingdoms

Even shorter than halflings, the gnomes form many small kingdoms in the glades and swamps of Tyria.

Their villages can be mistaken for mushroom patches and undergrowth thicket even at close range,

for they like to plant their roofs with natural camouflage, berry and mushroom orchards and medical herbs.

Most folks overlook them, and most gnomes are fine with that.

They only want to live peaceful lives of whimsy and merriment.

But even the best cannot live in peace if their bad neighbours do not let them.

Many underestimate the gnomes - but few do so twice.

Those who attack them suddely find themselves at eye level,

with opponents the viciousness of an angry squirrel.
