Gnomes are small humanoids that usually dwell in forests, hills or similar places. There are a wide variety of gnome types and cultures across games. The most common gnomes are around 3 feet tall, usually wear beards, and are quite shy.
In games, gnomes may fall into several different roles. In some settings, gnomes are closely related to fey creatures, or at least close to nature. These gnomes may be similar to Pixies. Another common type of gnome is the tinker gnomes, who show great talents building strange devices.
Gnomes are also sometimes associated with the element earth.
