Gnome

Gnomes, or the Elflings as they were sometimes known, were small humanoids known for their eccentric sense of humor, inquisitiveness, and engineering prowess. Having had few overt influences on the world's history but many small and unseen ones, Gnomes were often overlooked by the powers that be, despite their craftiness and affinity for illusion magic.

Abilities

Many gnomes were weak compared to other humanoids, though this was far from a universal trait for the race. Like the Elves, Gnomes had sensitive hearing and were often capable of hearing things that other races might miss. Gnomish eyes were also suited for seeing in low-light conditions, to a degree comparable with Elves or Veladrin.

Relations

Gnomes, in general, were a reclusive people who'd rather stay out of others' affairs. Though some races interpreted this as cowardice, it's more the case that gnomes simply had nothing at stake in the conflicts between most other races and after centuries of being ignored or stomped on, were not particularly eager to fight someone else's fight. In fact, generally speaking, gnomes were a very courageous and good-hearted race, who frequently used their neutrality as a way to negotiate disputes. Of all the races in Tyrril, it's fair to say that gnomes had the fewest enemies, although they had very few friends as well.
