Myzelis    Aethrin (Standard)      Gnome, Forest

Gnome, Forest

Forest gnomes are the smallest of the gnomes, averaging only 2 to 2 1/2 feet tall. Even the tallest forest gnome is less than 3 feet. They usually weigh around 25 to 30 pounds. Unlike other gnomes, they wear their hair and beards long, often almost to their feet when unbound.

"The following communities are known to the people of Myzelis and recorded in the Journals of Eblin. Realms not listed here have no known populations of these Aethrin large enough to list as communities in their own right."

Gylidder Forest Gnomes

The Un-Fain: The largest community of Forest Gnomes in Gylidd lived in the shadow of the arcanist Fain, whose transmutation magic still permeates the Fain Wood to this very day. They came to Gylidd from a distant land called "Grenlea," consumed by the Brume thousands of years before the Mortal Era, and eventually came to call their wood Grenlea, until the arrival of Fain in the year 3011 AI. The transmuter - by all accounts - somehow captured the entire settlement and held it for ransom with none the wiser until the Forest Gnomes themselves were able to overthrow him (with the help of the Henwyd druids) in 3488 AI. Their numbers have greatly diminished since those days, and so too has much of their legendary ritual magic learned from the arcanist's hidden libraries. These days, the community is watched over from the tower by the druids of Henwyddon, and left to govern itself under the leadership of the fiery sorcerer Machs Benvef Orfo, their representative at Gyliddring.
