Gnomes
While their skills as jewel cutters and artists have taken the gnomish people
to every corner of Agon, their true home remains the river-valleys of Dvergheim.
They farm the fertile soil of the mountain kingdom, under the protection of its
dwarven rulers.
Gnomes rarely stand taller than 110 cm, but their bodies are robustly built,
and are well suited to the hard work of stone-clearing, ploughing and tilling
the mountain-fields of Dvergheim. Like dwarves, they are paragons of endurance,
who routinely work all day without pause.
Gnomes are peaceful folk, who avoid violence if at all possible. If attacked,
they usually try to flee back to their village, and they will only defend themselves
– with knives and short swords – if cornered.
