Forest Gnome Parentage

A gnome’s restless and boundless energy shines through every inch of their tiny body. Their faces are tan, brown, gray, or black, and their eyes gleam brightly. Their fair or brightly colored hair is difficult to tame. Some gnomes can grow beards, which may or may not be the same color as their hair. The one exception is deep gnomes, which are almost entirely hairless.
Gnomes average slightly over 3 feet tall and weigh 40 to 45 pounds. Because of their short legs, they cannot walk as fast as humans. But all gnomes are innately resistant to magic to some degree, much like water off a duck’s back, and they can see in the dark.
Gnomes are best explained by their long lifespans coupled with their restless minds and bodies. It might seem they have all the time in the world, but it seldom feels that way to a gnome.
Gnomes are versatile and have adapted to various environments. As their names suggest, deep gnomes evolved deep underground, forest gnomes adapted to living among tree roots and hollows, and rock gnomes to warrens just under the surface.
