Gnoma albescens

Gnomes are a species of sentient hominid from the Hajasith, whose origins are in the Iravn badlands. They are the sole living species of the genus Gnoma.

Distribution

A significant number of gnomes (about 1 million) still live on the Ghêreda's flood plain in the middle of the Iravn, but they have expanded throughout the Hajasith except across the Rimwall. They maintain several other high concentration areas (totaling 3.5 million), as well as numerous nomadic populations and a disproportionate representation in cosmopolitan areas (these last two categories are hard to sharply delineate, but they compromise an additional 5.5 million gnomes between them).

Physical Characteristics

Gnomes are the smallest living hominids. Females range from 110 to 135 cm and 22 to 40 kg. As is standard to dolicocephalines, sexual dimorphism is slight, males average only about 3 cm taller and 4 kg heavier.
