The gnome is one of the native Flanaess races collectively known as the Flan. They live in forests and hills, where they make their homes out of fallen tree trunks or magically supersized mushrooms. They are known as the original discoverers and wielders of magic, which they generally use to tease their enemies and treat their kin. Gnomes live closely with burrowing animals such as badgers, wolverines, and weasels. Very young gnomes are paired with such animals, which they bond very closely to and learn the languages of. Gnomish companion animals are never caged: they are allies, not pets.
There exist three main gnome variants:
Gnomes are the shortest of all humanoid species, coming around 3 and a half feet (1 meter) tall.
Gnomes are known to curse those who have done them wrong, and bless those who have helped them. It is therefore unwise to disrespect or mistreat a gnome, and instead remain on their good side.
