Gnome

Gnomes are a semi-trogloxenic hume kin. They live subterraneanly in soil or will live above ground in forests.
As it is said,
 Halflings live in the ground
 Gnomes live in the hills 
 And dwarves live in mountains
 -Maletas, Etlare
They are short compared to humans and, in fact, on average shorter than halflings. This leads them to be mistaken for elf children. Their burrows are moderately constructed, using wood, as they are not adapted to subterranean living like the cave-dwelling dwarves. Above ground, they carve out giant mushrooms as homes—drying them out to preserve them once they have died—or using the chitin for daub.
Many gnomes can be found living in woodcutting communities with surface dwarves and humans.
Gnomes have a fondness for simple pointed hats in particular above all others. Their beards whiten and grow full at a very early age, but they can live to about 350 years, though a few have been known to reach 500. At the end of their life, they turn completely gray all over, looking as if they have turned to stone, but it is merely the expiration of their bodies.
They are known for their ingenuity and handicraft, much like goblins, but with a greater mechanical propensity. Their favored activity is to tinker and invent in their burrows. Gnomes are especially renowned for their sleighs, built to ride on dirt and forest floor and pulled by mouse deer or foxes.
The forest gnomes of Eyra are a kind of their own, smaller than mainland gnomes and living more in nature, not taking to construction.
