Have You Seen This Gnome??
This gnome is known as Usukundi, and is the notorious red gnome of Arpathia. I, Lady Fiona, have been hunting him for years. He is part of a band of red gnomes who raid villages, stealing all they can find and killing everything that gets in their way. Ten years ago, he lit fire to my home village, and my family died in the inferno. Ever since, I have been on his trail, seeking justice. His other companions go by the names Farkwell, Lipopo, Hortund, Bryf, and Jombi. If you have any information about Usukundi or any of his companions, please contact me!
Special Update
I have been recently been informed that the gnomish army is aware of our presence. They have somehow managed to discover our covert operations to destroy them. KNOW your enemy. My intelligence sources have discovered their web site. Study it thoroughly, so that you will be prepared for a possible attack.
Gnome Facts
- Remember, not all gnomes are bad. There are many different types. Oddly enough, they don't live up to their names. The gnomes are named after colors, but the colors do not refer to the color of their skin. Red gnomes aren't red, and no one really knows how they came to be known as such. Some speculate it may be becuase they eat raw meat, which is dripping with red blood. They can be recognized by the fact that they ALWAYS wear black and red. Red gnomes are usually nasty creatures and should be avoided at all costs.
- Black gnomes are very friendly. They all have very dark hair, which is where they get their name. They are the most common gnome, and the most stereotypical. They live in underground communities, usually near mountains. They are short, stocky, and very good with their hands. They are excellent metal crafters and miners. I reccomend the gnome Trioc for exquisite weaponry and jewelry. He lives in the city Hocnom, which is in southern Jorvad. His shop is called Rivida (which means "anvil" in the ancient gnome language), and he is a close friend of mine. Mention my name, and he may give you a discount.
- Green gnomes don't really exist. If someone tries to entice you to go hunting for green gnomes, DON'T GO! They will put you in the middle of the forest holding a burlap bag and ditch you there. Then they'll all laugh a few days later when you finally find your way home, dirty, smelly, and holding an empty bag.
- Blue gnomes are very, very, small. They get their name from the fact that they live mostly in the blue caves of northern Lilixper. Few people ever see them, as they are quite shy and rarely come out of their caves.
- Brown gnomes also do not exist. A brown gnome is a eupehmism for, well, feces.
- Yellow gnomes are the least common gnomes. The only difference between them and humans is their facial features. They have a round face and a broad nose that makes a whistling or buzzing sound when the gnomes exhale. This sound was what caused the yellow gnomes to lose the battle of Hikle. The opposing elven forces followed the whistling to the gnome army's campground and killed many of them in their sleep. Today, yellow gnomes are becoming harder to identify. Interbreeding between them and humans has made the race practically nonexistant, although a few "pure" factions remain scattered around the Arpathia countryside. These factions tend to live on large farms and distance themselves from humans for fear of being assimilated into human culture.
