EmbryoGod

Pages of research are scattered all over the dusty, old desk. A thick, bounded journal lays on top of all the mess, it appears to have been left there for years. 3rd of Snow's Maiden, 1544 Today marks day one of the testing, it's been made of a hard cider wood, with an open end. Its design is based off your average pan flute, but I bore larger diameter holes into the pipes. 10th of Snow's Maiden, 1544 The instrument failed its initial attempt at playing, no different from an average pan flute. Results conclusive: a larger diameter pipe does not affect the noise. 6th of Malin's Welcome, 1544 It's obvious that the longer/shorter the pipes are, the sound changes. I've also noticed that closing the pipe with an outside piece of wood or metal changes the pitch drastically, increasing it. 17th of Malin's Welcome, 1544 I've developed a method of creating a detachable cap from the end of the pipes: attaching a very small piece of wood to the end of the pipe, as well as attaching a very small, hand carved wooden screw allows for a special cap to be made that can move to either open or close the end of the pipe. This allows for higher and lower octaves to be accessible at both times. 20th of Malin's Welcome, 1544 A problem I'm still having is with making the pipes have adjustable lengths, I'm going to discuss it with a few of my friends, then come back. 11th of Snow's Maiden, 1545 It is finished. I have made a grooved wall throughout the lining of the pipes of the instrument, and since the diameter of the tube doesn't affect the sound of the flute, I can fit in an extra piece of thin wood, allowing for the user to loosen or tighten the pipe to achieve sharp or flat notes. The caps at the bottom of the pipes allow for octave jumps. By using a metal as opposed to a wood, a clearer sound can be heard. 20th of Snow's Maiden, 1545 The only problem with the flute is its difficulty. Anyone can play it well, but only an Air Evocationist Telekinetic would be able to play it brilliantly. But still, I am proud of this accomplishment. It can play any note on the spectrum in a relatively small space, being only about 7 inches long. I have decided to name it the Fluugel'Xeim (pronounced: flu-gull heim). To anyone that finds this book, seek out its author, Selrik Lance.

Please check out the new Edit to the lore, it's rather important!

Us Gnomes'll make sure to give you a good time!

They're a race but they don't really have a lot of lore, this is just to provide some background for the people that get to rp with us

Although sometimes the Halflings don't want to admit it, the current thought is that yes they are close cousins to Halflings! The Lore here is only to serve as a small baseline to further RP down the line. For instance, if you're an average joe walking down the street and you see a Gnome, how can you tell if they're RP'ing it properly? This little piece is to serve as a brief description of how Gnomes are in RP! That way, we can further their RP and lore together as a community!

They've got slight differences, this is just to supplement the lore that's already existing. Not to make a new race

TLDR; not much about gnome Lore out there, so me and the other gnomes made this little bad boy. Tell us what you think! Gnomes Whimsical Creatures. Gnomes are small, stupid, and most of the time squalid-looking creatures. They’ve gone mostly unnoticed for a long time, due to their baby-ish stature and child-like vocabulary, most have been assumed to be children. The tallest Gnome on record is 1 foot 9 inches, and the most intelligent is barely capable of reading. Physiology Not much is known about the inner workings of Gnomes. Any Gnome brought in for experimentation has had entire different physiologies depending on the personality. For instance, one rather cheery Gnome was filled with small bits of colorful paper typically thrown around at parties. It is believed that Gnomes mentally and physically mature by the age of 12 (although there is some speculation to this, as Gnomes are unbelievably stupid and small). Habitat Gnomes, much like their Halfling relatives, prefer to live in smaller, more natural places. This can be in your crawlspace, this could be inside of a golem, this could also mean tunnels that the Gnomes themselves dig out, all places stated above are real world examples of their hiding places. Gnomes typically prefer to live with their Gnomish families. Due to their small size and stature, most of their furniture is tiny. Though don’t let that fool you! A young, rogue Gnome could just as easily throw a party in your house, and use the large furniture to commit unspeakable acts of partying. Gnomes and their Interaction with other Races Gnomes are best known for their comedic interactions with the other races. Due to the strange behavior of the Gnomes, as well as their seemingly (and currently unexplainable) magical properties, they have either been loved or hated, there’s no real gray area in the appreciation of Gnomish culture! The most well-documented instance of Gnomes and other races interacting is during Krugsmas, when young Gnomes appear out of nowhere to give presents to people from a seemingly endless sack of toys. Gnomes bear no ill-will towards the other races, and just want to spread their habitual partying and drinking with the rest of the world. To date, there’s been no counts of violence or war due to a Gnome’s actions. In fact, wherever Gnomes go, peace truly follows with. Gnomish Cheer One of the largest parts of Gnome culture is Gnomish Cheer, the idea of constantly being happy despite your current situation. Now, typically, this phenomenon is seen because Gnomes are so unreasonably stupid, that they can’t tell the difference between a threat on their life or a nice shave. This aspect of their society is why they rarely get angry. Most of the time Gnomes are seen being unreasonably happy, or unreasonably sad (if you deny them a hug!). Celebration Gnomish celebrations involve copious amounts of green and alcohol. No matter the occasion, Gnomes invite their relatives and close friends to enjoy in their revelry. Most people will consume so much of a certain substance that they’ll typically forget the entire party. Religion Gnomes fervently serve Billy Bob, their Tater God. To the Gnomes, Billy Bob is everything they want to be, intelligent, wealthy, and a ladies’ man. Their worship typically includes copious amounts of drinking and partying, in the hopes that they can live a small taste of the good life that Billy Bob represents. Gnomes and their Impact on Society Gnomes have already left their mark on the world in the cheer of every person. They’re also responsible for intriguing toys (including the yoyo), and make some of the greatest cookies around. Truly every person’s life is changed when they meet a Gnome. Economy What are you? Stupid? No? Well the Gnomes are. They don’t have a bartering system, so most of the times Gnomes just sort of give each other things to survive with each other. Mutual assurance of safety through mutual giving. Edit: The creators of the lore would prefer it to have a Creature Application, as to ensure proper, Gnomish RP is being done.
