Dark Legacy :: manual races Rock Gnome
Rock Gnome
The common, surface city dwelling gnome.
Rock Gnomes are a short, stocky race, similar to their dwarven cousins. They
have a rich dark brown skin, which doesn't grow pale by lack of sun. Their
attire is mostly earth-toned, richly embroidered, and usually adorned with
finely crafted gnomish jewellery. Rock gnomes prefer living underground in
burrow-like dwellings, which most dwarves scoff at, despite the skill and
effort the gnomes put into it. They enjoy songs, laughter and practical jokes.
They prefer an evening at home with a magical tome, a loaf of pipeweed bread
and a cup of ale rather than venturing out to battle. Rock Gnomes have a knack
for illusions, and are well versed in their studies of knowledge, magic and
religions. Rock gnomes usually focus in the magical or clerical arts, though a
few have ventured into the arts of thieving. Rock gnomes are on friendly terms
with dwarves and halflings, but distrust most larger races. As a race they tend
to shy away from contact with the surface world.
