River Gnomes
There are three major gnomish civilizations, all on the continent of Alvaria.
Flame Gnomes live in Drezzon, which surrounds Vok-Drezzon, in the Northwest of Alvaria. They embrace self-indulgence and many of the more more seedy businesses are based in this kingdom. However, they are also known as great inventors/innovators.
Craigsmire, home of Mud Gnomes along the northern edge of the Craigsbear Sea. They live mostly underground although they are not as reclusive as other underdark civilizations.
The last is Miltwell. The River Gnomes who live there worship Fresti and feel they are the guardians of the swamp in which they live, which they consider sacred. Their civilization consists of many druids and few mages or clerics. Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score increases by 2; Your Wisdom score increases by 1. Age.
