Gnome

Gnomes were created by Rhuson, the Gem-eye and have followed in his stead. As master craftsmen and tinkerers, they are often seen side by side with their Dwarven kin. As the Dwarves are the miners, the Gnomes use those minerals in the mine to craft the most exquisite technology and tools. One of the most technologically driven people in Aedir, the Gnomes are leading the way in everything from medicine to cybernetics.
