During the Age of Growth, Gnomes entered the Material Realm in a landscape under flux. Lush trees met golden sands abruptly. The war of the Dragons against their kin and other species caused massive change to the land where Gnomes dwelt. These intense alterations to the land split the Gnomes. Half were driven into the woodlands and the other were routed into the deserts.

The gnomes continued their nomadic ways throughout history. They had few permanent structures. Preferring constant migration to stay safe, rather than buildings that are easily destroyed. To this day, many of the traveling caravans are comprised mainly of Gnomes.

Like all Fae, Gnomes are adept with magic. Where Elves had mastery over spells, Cyclops discern their surroundings magically, and Trolls wield luck like a weapon, Gnomes instead are most known for their infusing magic into their crafting and art. Most Gnomes have at least one knack that they use to excel at their vocation.

Gnomes love artistic expression in all things. They enjoy speaking loftily and adorning themselves with jewelry. Their jewelry often has significant meaning, representing important details like family ties and vocation.

Gnomes dislike confrontation, preferring trickery and quick words over conflict.

The Gnomes look like short elves with long features. They grow hair nearly to rival a Dwarf with matching bushy eyebrows. The forest Gnomes are light of skin with fair hair, while the desert Gnomes have bronze skin and dark hair.

Gnomes have little visual effect on bloodlines beyond lush facial hair on lineage. Rather, their effect is harder to detect.
