Gnome

Once possessing a proud nation, the gnomes have suffered from discrimination ever since they were defeated in a war with the mountain races during the early Second Era. Since then, they've diverged, adopting the culture of what nation they've settled in.

Appearance
Gnomes are shorter and more slender than the dwarves and possess long noses, pointy ears, and pointed teeth.

Like the trolls, they have a highly developed sense of smell.

Culture
The Gnomes were once a highly advanced economic power in northwestern Parias. However, their greed led to a war with their neighbors and eventually their exodus from the city of Mestral.

Modern-day gnomes have carved themselves into the human kingdoms as merchants or servants.

Religion
Little is known about the Gnomes' original religion due to their reclusive nature.

Since their exodus from Mestral however, they've adopted the faiths of the human kingdoms they've settled in, such as the Seven Luminaries and Arianism.
