[QUOTE="The Baron, post: 1815277, member: 19794"] In our homebrow gnomes are "on that island... over there..." No one in our group has really ever played gnomes, and we always thought they were kind of silly. A bunch of alchemists and illusionists *cough, I mean bards, cough* running around. With silly gnome gnames, like Gimble. Bah. I guess we still leave the option open, but in most cases, you would mistake a gnome in our world for a halfling. Only a person who's actually been to the gnome island would probably tell the difference. For most people, they're a myth, and most gnomes probably like it that way, being a private peope who guard the secret of the One Song. Through the years, Master Bards have passed the One Song on and on. All songs heard are a fragment of the One Song, played in a form that will not harm mortal ears. Those have heard the One Song and survived and are still sane say that is "completely frightening and lovely all at once. The notes and rythms of all time and history. The secret message of the Divine." Mortals given the ability to sing the One Song have changed the tides of battle, saved cities from destruction, become leaders of nations, and, for the most lucky, ascended to become one with the song, adding a new progression to the ever changing melody. Think that's kinda cool. Keeps them mysterious and mostly uninvolved. Maybe a fun trip for a high level adventure. [/QUOTE]
