Gnomes are a clever people, not just by birth. We spend our long lifes learning and refining our artificery. By infusing magic into our tools we are able to produce woundrous items of great usefulness.

Self writing parchment, robotic houshold appliances, even automatic turrets and self aiming scopes are no longer a thing of the past. Our artificer regiments equipped with the newest technology will allways be one step ahead of our foes.

Some humans might think it would be enough for the usually underestimated gnomish people to live a peaceful life in our town and develop into a thriving technocratic wonderland. We could sell our inventions to the highest bidder and secure a prosperous state in the midst of Anbennar. Some of us might even want to walk that path and there is no shame in that.

But we live for a long time and some of us still remember the tales of an ancient kingdom ruled by our own...

If we choose the path of conquering, we could reform the Gnomish Hierarchy amidst the humans. Glory would lie in that path, but without exeptional ingenuity, diplomatic skill and the best equipped soldiers in the world we might as well be destroyed like our ancestors before.
