Seelieput

The gnomes of Sho’Athar reside in a mineral rich cavern filled with multi faceted gems of every imaginable color. Many are naturally occurring, others have been brought from all over the world. Fortunate to be so secluded from the world, Seelieput is free of plague. The gnomes wrest gems from the walls, coil precious metals into finely wrought jewelry for their fey masters. If the fey have peasants then it is the gnomes, whom work entirely for the benefit of the pixies, sprites, dryads, satyrs, elves, and eladrin. For the most part the gnomes are content with their station. A few malcontents do exist, and travel one of three paths, they engage in subtle sabaotage against the fey social structure, they leave to adventure, or they delve deeper into the earth, often becoming the minions of fomorian giants.
Seelieput has many secret spots to hide and dwell, and is a cavern unlike any other in the world. Foreigners are treated with welcome and respect, though they’re cautioned against taking gems from the walls, for to do so is to invite the wrath of powerful spirits that guard the cavern.
