Gnomes

Gnomes are mysterious creatures with their own magic, own language, and own purpose. They are found throughout Nebezem, but they prefer to stay away from human settlements, often creating small gardens with a magical circle in the middle. Unlike humans, gnomes were not created by Solara – sometimes they refer to humans as "children of Zolara". When they speak a human language, they mispronounce S as /z/ and SH as /zh/.

All gnomes encountered in games prior to Red Peril have green skin.

## Trivia

* While it is unknown how the Gnomes came into existence, it is believed that they were created by one of the "hidden gods" whose name is yet to be revealed. It is possible that they're either alien beings that arrived on Nebezem prior to Solara's creation of humans or were the original inhabitants of the planet before humans. It is obvious however that their race is far older and advanced than humans.
* Gnomes seemingly have a much longer lifespan than humans. This is evident as the Gnomes that have appeared both in Gnomish Plot and Red Peril (the latter takes place about 50 years later than the former) do not appear to have aged at all.
