[QUOTE="Isida Kep'Tukari, post: 2398768, member: 4441"] Folo approached the city with trepidation. Though the place was filled with growing things, it was still fundementally unnatural with its fitted stone buildings and paved roads. On a deep level it made Folo nervous, though he still understood the need. Gnomes were close to the earth, closer than dwarves, and very in tune with the natural world. Forest gnomes, of course, did it better than all others, but even the barmy rock gnomes understood it very well. Some may make strange things of metal, stone, and wood, others create alchemical substances that burn like dragon's breath, but underlying it all was a deep understanding of the natural world. Other races, of course, were not as in tune with the natural world, and needed to create something to fill that void. Their buildings, crafts, and arts were what they used to define themselves. It was pointless to think that other races could learn to live like gnomes, so it was best to just deal with them on their own terms. That meant learning their ways, and helping them grow so they didn't hurt the natural world with their strange, unnatural expansions. Digger, his badger companion, expressed deep mistrust of the city, and so Folo let him be. Entering the city, Folo crept along near the trees and greenery, ears and nose tuned for signs of danger. He probably looked ridiculous to any that were watching him, but he didn't care. Most wouldn't notice the tiny gnome, being as he was scarcely the size of a human child. At a hair over two feet high, he was effectively invisible. Folor spent the morning drifting from park to park, green space to green space, conversing with the birds, squirrels, and other animals that made their homes here to see what they had to say about the city. When lunch rolled around, he parted with a few coins for pastries, a rare delicacy where he was from. Mostly he just wandered, a tiny gnome dressed in a single big leaf, a straw basket on his back, a straw hat on his head, and a sickle in his belt. [/QUOTE]
