'''Gnomes''' are a subrace of dwarves, known for their more mischievous personalities, and their much closer affinity to overground nature, compared to their standard dwarven counterparts. Gnomes are typically much weaker than standard dwarves, and oftentimes weaker than most other races. As such, they’re known to make burrows and small settlements within thick, dense forests. This has led to a common stereotype amongst other races of gnomes making their homes almost exclusively within large forest mushrooms. | '''Gnomes''' are a subrace of dwarves, known for their more mischievous personalities, and their much closer affinity to overground nature, compared to their standard dwarven counterparts.

'''Wood Elves''' are a shorter, typically darker-skinned designation of elves. They’re typically more aligned with human physiology than their Elf counterparts. They much prefer living in and amongst forested areas than constructing grand cities like other elves. Due to this, their histories are often less well documented than other designations of elves. | |||
