[QUOTE="Imagicka, post: 3225009, member: 4621"] Greetings... Gnomes. A friend of mine made gnomes the alchemical lords of his world. They had developed gun-powder and explosives and the technology to use it (crude firearms & cannons) and controlled this information/technology fervently. Anyone who learned how to make explosives usually met with an accident (ie *boom*) very shortly after the gnomes found out. Gnomes in my world are a dying race. They are few and far between, typically pacifist nomads (ie Tinkers) that usually dedicate themselves to learn one skill very well, and have a philosphy that is rather zen-buddist in nature. All the Bosch (that's what I call my gnomes) are seeking 'nowhere'. They are kinda akin to Robert Jordan's Tinkers, and their pacifist ways seeking the 'way of the leaf'. (Though I'm convinced that Jordan stole these ideas from my brain since I had a working model of the Bosch before I even heard of Wheel of Time.) (Putting my tin-foil hat back on...) [/QUOTE]
