Gnomes

Many gnomes escaped the Bright into the Deeplands and adapted to their new environment.

Today gnomes make up a notable minority group within the City State of Styx. Gnomes are small and tend to have eccentric personalities with a cultural obsession with technology and magick being famous among other races.

Gnomes tend to integrate into any nation or culture they come across and find interesting making them at home in almost any imaginable place.
