Gnome
Gnomes, or Gnommi as they call themselves,
are short and wiry, with faces distinguished by
large ears and prominent noses.
Due to their small size, usually confused by
humans with halflings, gnomes go to great
lengths not to dissuade people from this mistake.
As a species naturally marked by magic,
they have fallen victim to wizards, inquisitive
academics and witch hunters for centuries.
Though times have changed, the gnomes still
remember past grievances and try to isolate
themselves to the point where their existence
is generally regarded as a mere legend.
