Gnomes

Gnomes are very rare creatures, who live in the cave networks to the north which were created by the dwarves. Before then, they were suspected to have been nomads. Gnomes are very magical, and and suspicious of outsiders so they keep to themselves. They mainly get revealed when magical mischief occurs (intentionally, or otherwise). They don’t need much to eat, and survive off Mushrooms which they grow inside the caves. Clusters of gnomes live together, normally in groups of around 20-30 but they can be up to 100. They don't have homes or buildings, and when they sleep they become completely immobile. Gnomes have an unnaturally long lifespan due to their magical nature.

Some gnomes can be seen travelling the world. These are usually the more mischievous gnomes who have been exiled from their villages. As a result, gnomes have acquired a bad reputation and frequently try to avoid contact with other creatures. The pranks still go on though, and are mostly harmless (unless something goes wrong with the magic spells…).
