[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 9819643, member: 58172"] Part of the ambiguity is the term "Fey". Creatures that are clearly Elemental (nixie : undine :: hob : gnome) can be called "Fey" (fairie) because they are "magical" beings. Arguably, nymph and satyr are Greek "Celestial", but English folkbeliefs understand them as "Fey". It is possible that a D&D Gnome is an Earth Elemental who inhabits the Feywild. The 5e 2024 Feywild is an alternate reality, a parallel Material Plane energized by Positivity. It can be inhabited by various creature types, in the same way that Shadowfell can be. The Elementals there might gain the Fey creature types. However in the case of the Gnome, the Humanoid creature type overrides both the Elemental and Fey creature types. Even so, perhaps there are monster statblocks that have the Gnome be Elemental or Fey. The D&D tinkering Rock Gnome, emerged from the human-inhabited land relating to the tools of farms, including blacksmithing, and the machinery of mills. (The homes of Swiss clock makers feel spot on.) The shoemakers extend to the toymakers. Hence the gadgeteers. For the "nisse" Gnome, I prefer using the Border Ethereal plane for all animistic activity. Most of the Norse beings are Elementals (mountains, waterfalls, snowstorms, thunderstorms, etcetera). The mind of the respective nature feature can project to form of a remote presence in the Border Ethereal, that can invisibly observe and interact with the Material Plane.
