A constant hum of busy activity pervades the warrens and neighborhoods where gnomes form their close-knit communities. Louder sounds punctuate the hum: a crunch of grinding gears here, a minor explosion there, a yelp of surprise or triumph, and especially bursts of laughter. Gnomes take delight in life, enjoying every moment of invention, exploration, investigation, creation, and play.
Avalorn boasts a smaller population of surface Gnomes and in most cases they are found within Dwarven communities. Typically, this means within the mountain cities the Dwarves have made, where their ingenuity is openly welcomed. While it is not unheard of to find them elsewhere, they are not very common within Lorienheim.
