Gnome

Gnomes are one of the races native to the Commonverse and are distinguished by their long ears and very small frames. Where Dwarves are burly and average four feet tall, Gnomes are small and delicate, rarely taller than three feet and could almost be mistaken for human children if it weren't for their ears. Gnomes are masters of engineering and commerce, both of which govern their lives even from a young age. As apprentices, they leave their families to live in the Guildhall and spend the rest of their lives either in study, practice or service to their chosen guild's focus. Each Gnome city beneath the Steaming Steeps is run by a council of the Guildmasters. The Grandmasters serve on the council in their capital city of Gnomehome.

Half Races
The races can produce viable offspring of mixed blood, but there is always one race that dominates in appearance and magic. (You may claim a heritage of mixed blood but you must choose one race who's appearance requirements you follow and who's feats you receive.)

Sub-Races
Sub-races also exist and can be played. The cultures and certain aspects of their appearance may differ from the race they stemmed from but the abilities are the same. However, these races are restricted and you must have permission by a Staff member prior to character creation to play one.
