Gnomes are eccentric tinkerers, astrologers, and archivists. Some dwell in coastal observatories or mountain sanctums, while others build sealed arcologies within derelict ships. Obsessive in their curiosity and unafraid of catastrophic prototypes, they gravitate toward forgotten ruins, drifting wrecks, and celestial patterns others overlook. The Order of Gnomish Astrologers, though widely mocked, continues to advise major factions and predict stellar events with eerie accuracy. Among them, tales of the "Great Orrery" - a cosmic machine said to govern fate - persist in half-jests and clockwork dreams.
