Gnomes

Often being described as slight Dwarves with mousey features, Gnomes have a small catlike nose that juts some from a thin furred face, often having long beards and mustaches that intertwine with long whiskers. Yet their pointed ears, clawless hands, and thin tails are furless. Gnomes come in all sorts of colors, stark white to deep oak browns.

Of the same home planet as Dwarves, gnomes are of a more mindful nature compare to their cousins. In touch with magic and the pulse of the universe, they are the creators of star core ships and the first race to attempt to map the galaxy. Gnomes take delight in being alive, each driven to make their marks on the stardust they inhabit. It is said that on Yestria, their home planet, gnomes were merely unenlightened handymen to the dwarves, yet, with their exposure to the cold of the universe, some great purpose awakened.

The good humor of Gnomes is something they are renowned for and has been cited as getting many a Gnome through hardship, yet will annoy or discomfort other races. Never bring up the destruction of Yestria in front of Dwarves and Gnomes, jokes in bad taste will get fists in return.
