A gnome is a mythical creature characterized by its extremely small size and crumpled, almost child-like face. They are often described as two spans high, and very taciturn.
Gnomes bare semblances towards Dwarves and Goblins, particularly in their short stature and affinity to underground living habits. However, there are some key differences, such as the pigment of a Goblin's skin and the stone-like appearance of the Dwarf.
Intelligence, wisdom and agility are some of the more notable attributes of a Gnome. They are not known for being particularly charismatic creatures but are usually quite friendly. Gnomes are well known for their vast knowledge, inventions and their innovative way of thinking.
The exact origins of the Gnome is not known, but there is some speculation that they flew over in space craft, or were the product of a freak mixing of Dwarf and Goblin. Such suspicions are probably false, as the Gnomes weren't believed to have invented space travel until 4864 and Goblin-Dwarf relationships are just preposterous.
