Gnomes

Humanoids much unlike many others, gnomes are often considered strange folk by many of the others denizens of Valdesoth. Of all the humanoid denizens they are among the smallest, ranging two to three feet in height on average. There are only two distinct types of gnomes, those that dwell in the Underdark and those that dwell on the surface of Valdesoth. They age at about half the rate of humans and reach adulthood at 40 years old and live between 350 and 500 years old.
A majority of gnomes are very sensitive to loud sounds and strong smells and will often stay away from a majority of other civilizations for that reason. 
== Conical Gnomes ==
Referred to as the Conical Gnomes because of their cone shaped hats, these gnomes are exclusively denizens of the surface and have a variety of customs that they hold extremely near and dear to them. Often shorter in stature, these gnomes often dwell on grassy knolls, their conical hats helping them navigate through the tall grass. 
In addition, names are incredibly important to their culture, running through families in rhyme rather than traditional first and last names. A good example of this is the -amfoodle -ackle clan, with members such as Namfoodle Nackle, Samfoodle Sackle, and Ramfoodle Rackle.
