Gnomes are a species of plant-like creatures that assist the elves in day-to-day life. It's a symbiotic relationship, with the elves protecting the gnomes and the gnomes assisting the elves by growing plants and attending to any tasks that interest them.
In Neverseen, the plague was released and hundreds of gnomes were affected. Calla had to give her life and become a Panakes to cure the gnomes and save the species.
It was also discovered that the same plague had been released on the gnomish leaders many years ago. The leaders died and became the Four Seasons Tree. Their dying wish was for the Council not to tell the other gnomes what had killed them.
Since then, the gnomish species recognizes no official leader. They are peaceful and in need, select an ambassador to represent them; this is seen in Lodestar when Thales the Sower was selected at the drafting of the new ogre treaty.
Appearance
Gnomes look more like plants than animals, with rough, earthy skin and bright green thumbs. They are described to have large gray eyes and have the height of an elementary student.
