Dark LegacyThe common gnome of the cities: a jeweller, a joker and a scholar.
Show a rock gnome a ring and he will say what it is and what it does before the owner has finished asking. They cannot help it. Their eyes go through a glamour as through clean glass, and their ears are such that little in a room stays hidden from them long.
For the rest they are a stocky, brown, comfortable people, who wear good embroidery and their own jewellery, and dig snug houses that the dwarves call rabbit holes. A rock gnome likes a joke played on a friend. Better still he likes his own chair in the evening, with a book of magic, a loaf of pipeweed bread and a cup of ale; and he sees no reason to go out and be killed.
