Gnome

Gnomes are an ancient race of the Known World that predate the arrival of humans, but whose societies are not quite as old as the Elves or Dwarves.
Though close kin of the Dwarves, Gnomes are somewhat shorter and slighter than their cousins, and keep their beards trimmed close (whether this is an aesthetic decision or just a desire to be different from their racial kin is a matter of some debate). Like Elves, Gnomes have angular features, including elongated, pointed ears.
Gnomes are known engineers, tinkerers and magicians, often combining these skills to create various enchanted mechanical devices, such as subterranean tram networks and the infamous Vox Bestia, or mechanized animal messengers.
Though the Gnomes were known for their dazzling and dizzying cities, most of these have been deserted or have fallen into ruin after a series of defeats at the hands of other races and kingdoms, such as the fall of the Tawarian Gnome capital, Orod Ladwen, at the hands of the humans half a millennium ago.
