Gnomes - demihuman Ethnicity in Greyhawk Oreth | World Anvil

Gnomes - demihuman

Gnomes take a similar view. Their hilly homes have been threatened by the humanoids in particular; many have been driven into the plains of human-dominated lands where they seek help to re-establish their old heartlands. Many, too, co-exist with elves in the woodlands; where the elves are active in working with human interests, so are the gnomes. Hill gnomes often share living space with dwarves, and are a brave, tough folk who are loyal to their neighbors and fight side by side with them.  

Gnome Subraces

Steinneblin, or rock gnomes (Fey-Touched / Wellspring Gnome): The standard gnome subrace of third edition, rock gnomes live in burrows beneath rolling, wooded hills. Friends to animals, rock gnomes have a racial ability that allows them to speak with burrowing animals.

Svirfneblin, or deep gnomes (Umbral Gnome) (Non-Playable race): Svirfneblin dwell in cities deep underground. They are more dangerous than the common rock gnome.

Forstneblin, or forest gnomes (Chameleon Gnome / Fey-Touched Gnome / Sensate Gnome): Smaller than rock gnomes, forest gnomes are a shy, secretive folk, living deep in wooded areas. They are more likely to be druids than illusionists or alchemists.
