Gnomes are diminutive, standing around 3 feet tall. They have long, pointed ears, large noses and mischievous smiles. Their eyes are bright and expressive, and they favour colourful, eccentric clothing. Gnome hair is often found in colours not seen in the other races - green, blue, etc.
Curious and inventive, gnomes come in two main varieties - those that live in bustling cities who develop an affinity for machinery and tinkering and those gnomes that are more reclusive, living deep in the forests and closer to the fae spirits that they think of as cousins.
