A constant hum of busy activity pervades the warrens and neighborhoods where gnomes form their close-knit communities. Louder sounds punctuate the hum: a crunch of grinding gears here, a minor explosion there, a yelp of surprise or triumph, and especially bursts of laughter. Gnomes take delight in life, enjoying every moment of invention, exploration, investigation, creation, and play.

Creation Myth
Prototype created the Deep Gnomes when En was new, hoping to gain knowledge of this new, strange plane which he could use to their advantage. They soon realized, however, that their humanoid creations had the drawback of being independent thinkers. Deciding that En and the Deep Gnomes were an unproductive waste of time and energy, Prototype quickly abandoned them.

After The Lightbringing, Hestia took notice of the abandoned Deep Gnomes, and decided to adopt them as a patron goddess. Fascinated by the kindness and closeness of the small folk, Hestia copied Prototype's designs, creating the Forest Gnomes and Rock Gnomes.
