Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder gnome fluff?

Could someone repost the racial description from the alpha? I can't get the file while at work.

Thanks

Sure thing:

Where the elves have a tie to nature, gnomes are linked to
the fey that inhabit the quiet corners of the world. While
many can seem whimsical and distant, gnomes that dwell
alongside other races often take to one craft or profession
with obsessive zeal, using that passion to root them in
their surroundings. Many view such gnomes as eccentric,
as their passions tend toward invention, alchemy, or other
technical pursuits. Those that dwell with fey are often the
opposite, their lives full of frivolous endeavors, making
them seem odd and fickle to outside observers. Even these
gnomes take to one passion or another, usually music,
song, or poetry. Some theorize that without passion, a
gnome fades into the wild to join the fey forever.

Apparently, in the Beta they replaced them with Dragonborn.

Do not tempt the wrath of gnomes.

You do realize that 4e PHB II will contain the shocking revelation that Dragonborn are actually suits of powered armor invented by the Tinker Gnomes and were literally dreamed up by Garl Glittergold during his Kobold slaying days.

Hahahahahahahahaha... NO. That will Most Certainly NOT be the case. <shudder>

Rest assured, we've got lots of ideas for G-nomes, none of which involves making them more "EXTREME!"

That can't be a gnome. Gnomes are 10 feet tall, and shoot fire from their eyes and lightning bolts from their... (WotC - You can take our gnomes, but you'll never take our freedom!)

The Human G-nome Project must have made a mistake in the mapping process.

The fluff text posted makes me think of the Town Mouse and the Country Mouse. That's kind of a neat hook to hang some basic personality traits on. Maybe there should be feat/skill suggestions for these two "paths."
