Gnomes “Five words can defeat a thousand swords.”
—Zil proverb
Gnomes possess a love of knowledge that many would describe as lust. Most gnomes hate physical violence and prefer to solve their
problems with words—whether that’s a wizard’s word of power or a rogue’s careful threat. The common view of the gnome is that of a friendly busybody, always ready to lend a hand or share a story. But in fact, that cheerful gnome is often gathering information that could one day be useful.
