Tinker Gnomes
Tinker Gnomes live in Mount Nevermind, on the Isle of Sancrist. Gnomes are the tinkerers of Krynn, designing grand machines for every imaginable task. Distant cousins of the Dwarves, gnomes who chased after the Graygem are rumored to have been transformed from gnomes into Dwarves and Kender, depending on whether they coveted the stone or were curious about it.
At the beginning of their life, each gnome is given a Life Quest. The idea is that this is what their ancestors have devoted their lives to, and this quest must be completed before the gnome (and his forebears) can rest. For example, a life quest might be to study the geometry of a nail. After being approved by the Guild subcommittee to which his family belongs, the gnome spends his entire life working on this Quest. Seldom does the Guild declare a quest complete—that would mean that all that can be learned about that subject has been.
Gnomes are famous for inventing things. Rather than just making a simple invention, the gnome will add several thousand ropes, pulleys, levers, gadgets, and a steam engine to it before it will be complete. Besides, what if the 'start' button were to fail? The gnome has installed about five fail-safe systems to nullify that possibility.
