One set are culturally tricksters. Their heritage was crafted by Erevan Ilesere.  They have ties to the Archfey and elves.  They tend to come from smaller clans and splinter from their clans to form new clans at young ages.  The lessons of their ancestors encourage them to sow chaos, but not animosity.  However, these forest gnomes were copied from the creation of Obad-hai, who is alignde with very primal nature magics.  They have a strong alignment with beasts and live in harmony with them in natural settings.  The Deep Gnomes originated as a creation of the God of Dark Magics, Wee Jas.  This Wee Jas is a bit different than the one many of you know.  The Dark Magics are born of twisted and evil Fey Pacts, and the Deep Gnome clans are the scribes and servants of these Dark Pacts.  These Dark Fey Magics are often built upon blood sacrifices, murders, and forture - and many of the Deep Gnomes are influenced by constant exposure to those levels of evil.</blockquote>
