[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8351178, member: 6704184"] In my buddy's setting where he kinda let me run wild in a region dominated by gnomes in a supernaturally densely forested mountain range, the gnome's oldest towns (the region has no big cities) are in the stumps of ancient titanic trees, the biggest of which is easily 100 yards across. The biggest town is Three-Trees, because of the three trees it's built in and around. Even when they don't like inside an acient titan tree, the mountain is dotted by essentially giant redwoods and other very large similar trees, even up in the mountain where the soil should be too thin to even grow trees, but where thousands of years of fey living there until 1500 years ago, and thus magical flora and fauna living even up at the highest reaches has led to quite viable soil, and to trees that still bear a small part of that magic. All the titans have fallen, though, and all that is left is stumps. The Old Wood has long since been cut into manageable pieces and stored safely, becoming a highly prized resource in the region, underwriting much of the mountain's wealth. Anyway, the redwoods and such still provide space either in their hollows or amongst and underneath their roots for Gnomish dwellings. [/QUOTE]
