Gnomes are the close cousins of the slightly shorter hobbits, but
while hobbits are usually inclined towards the easy life, gnomes have
a long tradition of devoting their life to scholarship and scientific
study. The gnomes' cousins in other realms have often lacked wisdom.
This often resulted in much of their knowledge being used to create
inventions that had a tendency to backfire.  Many Dark Castle gnomes
however, have developed an acute moral compass, as well as a healthy
portion of common sense.

While not as strong or agile as some of the other races, gnomes are
renowned throughout the realms for the wise and intelligent natures.
In addition, they have a heightened resistance to acid and magic,
but are weaker against energy and poison.
