Homebrew Gearr Species Details

It had been two centuries living in Hamnel, and it was a good two centuries. Home was safe and happy, my farms bountiful and lush, and the parties were the best moments of my long life. I do regret one thing though: Building a library in my home. It was fun to assemble, fun to see the result of, and fun to sip on honeyed mead while reading old stories. What I regret of this is the last part, as if I hadn't learned of great tales of adventurers overcoming great odds, then my family would not be wondering every day if I were still alive.

Stepping out of the door with little but a note telling my husband I would be gone for a while, I understood why my mother had done the same not long after raising me. But the lure of parades held in my name, the prospect of training others in my ways, and making a name for myself, it all sounded far too thrilling to let up. I'm not sure if Lukil has been using my library, but I hope he has, since I have plenty of things I've told him in the books I've written.

- Orvum Stillwell, Tale Weaver

The mix of a halfling and a gnome is one that's often difficult for a Gearr to balance, due to their natures both coinciding and conflicting. They want to lead peaceful and safe lives in their settlements, but also have the itch to see what's beyond their borders, and what's beyond that. They average slightly over 3 feet tall, and weigh 45 to 60 pounds.
