[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 9020621, member: 6704184"] In my friend’s setting, there are two mountain communities of gnomes. Both are a mix of gnome types, but the far northern one has more forest and deep gnomes than rock gnomes, and the more Swiss alps mountain region has a higher population of rock gnomes. The northern mountains are a very Celtic inspired land, and the Gnomes have lived there since they were true Fey, before the fall of the great Fey kingdoms. They remember, at least culturally, the great trees with 30-70 yard diameters that reached up into the clouds, and many of their towns are carved into the stumps of these fallen giants. The flora and fauna lives higher up the mountain than would be the case IRL, and the gnomes share the mountain with dwarves and Goliaths and some few humans. There are still trees in the north equal to RL giant redwoods, and firs and other such trees as you go up the mountain until they finally thin out. The Kiltaithi Gnomes are more often matriarchal than not, and organize themselves in clans and families. with clans usually named after mythic Gnomish heroes (which all happen to have Celtic names like Mananan mac Llyr, Graine Mhoal, Morrigan, and Nuada. They essentially revere the great Fey and their own ancestors and the spirits of the land. There are also sea folk around the norther peninsula on islands, and are clever shipwrights, and deep gnomes that mostly live in cliff caves and fish and dive in the fjords with the help of magica to keep them from freezing.
