Role-wise you could say halflings moved out to a fringe to give the gnomes some room.Interestingly, in my setting the gnomes are already established as the swamp and river rats of the setting. Maybe I'll just use 4e halflings for gnomes and build out the oyasini (the setting's proper halflings) out anew.</blockquote>
