Overview -

The Tinker Gnomes, as they're often called, are a diminutive race of gnomes renowned for their creativity and ingenuity. They are always tinkering with something, trying to improve upon it or invent something new. They're often seen as eccentric and unpredictable, as their obsession with inventing can make them forgetful of their surroundings and social norms.

They live in tightly packed communities in cities, often in neighborhoods or districts dedicated to their craft. Their homes and workshops are full of gears, cogs, and machines of all shapes and sizes, with steam and smoke often pouring out of their chimneys. They have a reputation for being noisy and a bit chaotic, but also for being able to create amazing gadgets and devices that can help with all sorts of tasks.

Tinker Gnomes have a natural affinity for machinery and often see the world in terms of gears, levers, and pulleys. They are able to understand and repair complex machines with ease, and can often find simple solutions to complex problems. Some of their inventions have become ubiquitous in the world, such as the clockwork horse-drawn carriages that have become a common sight in many cities.

Despite their love of invention, Tinker Gnomes are also known for their tight-knit communities and loyalty to their fellow gnomes. They often work in groups on their projects, sharing ideas and tools, and helping each other out when things go wrong.
