Dark LegacyGnarled gnomes of the deepest earth, good at heart and harsh to strangers.
Mages who look for the deep gnomes with their far-seeing arts see rock. It is not known how the gnomes do this. Nor is it known where their towns are, though dwarves have dug in the same mountains time out of mind and have sometimes heard hammers below them.
They are a thin and knotted people, the color of the stone; the men are bald and the women's hair is white. They love gems and metal with a love that their rock gnome cousins find a little shaming, and they can smell a vein of ore in the dark. A deep gnome who meets a stranger is harsh and believes nothing. Yet they are a good people at heart, and the few who have been let in say that they were fed.
