Regal Gnome
More than any other species or ethnicity, regal gnomes personify the sort of innovation, inventiveness and conflict that Gama and Eruer prize in their mortal creations. Perhaps the favor of the Indomitable Empress and her Cosmic Consort are why regal gnomes are so named, however it seems more likely that the favor of early kings, queens and emperors towards their learnedness, inspiration and creativity is the source of the rather curious nomenclature.
The majority of gnomes on Valine are regal gnomes though, in truth, they are largely thought of simply as "gnomes", and any differentiation comes about through comparison with one of their cousin ethnicities. Regal gnomes create inventive solutions to even the simplest problems and are as quick to laugh as to anger. Belying their size, a regal gnome will pick a fight with a much larger individual should their often-over-complex solution to a problem be disparaged. Lest the target of their ire believe that they are facing a soft target, they should bear in mind that regal gnomes typically have a half-dozen solutions to every problem in mind and may, quite literally, have a nasty surprise up their sleeve.
