Gnomes

Post by Douban »

Hello. I made an account for Illarion a few years ago but have not played for quite some time. I plan on jumping back into this game and starting a new gnome character (as I have sort of lost my connection with my old gnome, though I may revisit him still).

Anyway, my question is to those who have experience with gnomes - I'm curious as to what your gnome's professions are, as I'm not really sure what a creature obsessed with machinery would do for a career in the medieval world of Illarion.

Also, any other information you would like to offer pertaining to gnomes would be very much appreciated. I have forgotten much and I was never exactly an expert to begin with. :D

The official background for gnomes is a bit limited compared to the main races. Check out the Illapedia (the descriptions of gnomish cities are only available in german at the moment).

Thank you for the help. I've read whats been suggested and it has refreshed my memory quite well - though I'm still curious as to what sort of jobs gnomes might have.

Thought I would add to this as one of the few Gnome players. I have been away for a little while but I am back and am willing to help any players who had thought about playing Gnome chars but are unsure how. I just had to make it up as I went along becasue of the lack of Gnome characters as role models I found myself often stuck on what to do for work and even how to rp my story but I have a pretty solid basis for my char background and why he does the jobs he does. Some players may know I tried to establish a small Gnomish community which unfortunately failed but through careful rp and allignments I think it may still be possible to establish a small Gnomish community IG.

Any new or old players thinking of playing a Gnome who would like a little help in getting started or want to rp with another Gnome so you don't feel so excluded from the other illa players, send me a message (dove) and I will get in touch with you.
