Forest gnomes are minuscule versions of gnomes that dwell very discretely in forests. They are renown for their reclusive and shy nature, and often remain completely unseen by any who live nearby. They have a great love and knowledge of nature, and prefer to remove themselves from the society of the world to spend more time among their trees. They are skilled at illusion magic, like all gnomes.
The characters in the game first met a Forest gnome when they rescued Gimby Feybucklet from the clutches of some drow in some abandoned limestone caves near Lake Sember.
Description[]
Forest gnomes are the smallest of the gnomes, averaging only between two feet and two and a half feet tall, weighing in the range of 25 to 30 pounds. Their hair is often worn long, along with their beards, and sometimes styled into curls and points. They have bark coloured skin that sometimes even has the texture of trees, and their hair is brown and sometimes green.
Forest gnomes speak their own language but are often skilled enough to speak the language of Sylvan and sometimes even Elven or Orc.
