About
I have been a fan of the gnomes for a long time, not least in part for the mystery surrounding them. I have been playing on and off on the RP server Argent Dawn for more than a decade and in that time fallen in love with all the stories that people create. I felt that something was missing though. The lore for gnomes were so much thinner than for many of the other races that I felt it was difficult to find the important common ground with people to start creating stories from. When people roleplay humans for example it is quite common that the lore of the race is extensively weaved in to their backstories which makes for deeper characters and more interesting new stories. For gnomes I felt that this was very rarely done and when it was the stories were often very contradictory to each other and to canon lore, damaging immersion. This is not to say that I think lots of lore needs to be weaved into a character's background, it's perfectly fine to leave most of it blank, but I'd still like to see more of it. This is why I created this space: to make it easier to quickly make a gnome character's backstory and to more smoothly agree on lore like aging between gnome role-players.
