[QUOTE="Irda Ranger, post: 3914589, member: 1003"] Fascinating. Was that in the main ECS book, and I missed it? I didn't get that impression from reading the article on it, but maybe I skimmed too quickly. Those Gnomes are very different from the "Unified Theory" Gnomes Mr. Dustyboots presented. I get the impression that if UT-Gnomes ever had a full blown nation, most people wouldn't even know it was there; of if they suspected, all the details would be wrong. I can just picture now an adventurer wandering through some woodland and suddenly a Gnome appears: "Ok, look here pal." says the Gnome "We've tried to do this the easy way by presenting you with easier paths to walk down, but you keep picking the hard ones. You've deliberately avoided every inviting elven camp we led you to. You've ignored and dragon spoor dropping we left lying on this road, and even avoided that one orc encampment when we thought reverse-psychology would get us somewhere. I don't know how or why you're doing it, or if you are deliberately seeking the Gnomish settlements, but it's gotta stop. Go back." "But I am seeking King Peldypants of Frugalforn. I believe I have been in the Kingdown of Frugalforn's lands for the last two days. Yes?" replied the Man. "No such king, no such country. We just told that Sage a tall tale to make him happy and go away. The fact is, there's no kingdom at all here. You're just too close to a small gnomish village, and we don't like it." (Several more minutes of arguing ensues. Eventually the Man leaves, frustrated.) After silence has fallen on the glade for several minutes, another Gnome sticks his head out of a bush. "Did the Man leave?" "I think so. Go tell King Kuldorkins the same. He'll want to know." "Good. I didn't like how he was standing right in the middle of town like that. That was too close." [/QUOTE]
