Rock Gnomes, also known as Earth Gnomes, are a highly inventive and curious race that dwell within vast, mechanical cities hidden deep within the mountains. Their natural inclination is to deconstruct and rebuild devices, in order to understand their inner workings and improve upon them.

With a deep understanding of mechanics, every Rock Gnome possesses a broad knowledge of gizmos, from small Firestarters to intricate music boxes or even complex clockwork toys. As experts in the art of tinkering, they have developed an innate ability to detect and resist danger, making them incredibly adaptable and quick on their feet.

Despite their small stature, Rock Gnomes have an insatiable thirst for knowledge and are highly interested in the arcane. Many of their kind become excellent wizards, using their natural affinity for magic to create complex machines and gadgets that harness its power. They are also adept at using their knowledge of mechanics to create powerful enchanted items, from weapons to tools.

Their society values ingenuity and innovation, and their cities are a testament to their technical prowess. However, they are also fiercely independent, valuing their privacy and often keeping their technological advancements a closely guarded secret. Those who are lucky enough to earn the trust of a Rock Gnome may find themselves rewarded with one of their ingenious inventions, or the opportunity to witness their remarkable mechanical creations firsthand.
