Gnomes are loners in Faerie. They tend to trickster-types — often plaguing an area for a while before moving on. They do not gather in large communities, those that do settle down often do so on the outskirts of a hobbit or elf community that will put up with their antics and value their prowess in magic. Of all the fey races, gnomes are the only ones that regularly dedicate themselves to sorcery.

Naming Conventions: gnomes do not have family or clan names. Their names also change at whim, or they may change their name from place to place. Gnome names are often strange and at the very least, nonsensical — they often start out like compound names but end up strangely. The only similarity between gnomes is the length of their names and their gobbledygookish nature – three syllables is considered exceedingly (perhaps rudely) short.

Halflings (Hobbits)

The hobbits of Palaestra are agrarian folk, proud commoners that tend to run to fat, rather than the lithe little people of the standard d20 rules.

Basically the little folk have the political ambition of a rock. They would rather be left to tend their fields and orchards. The reason for their importance is that the hobbit lands are the breadbasket for Faerie. Therefore, the fae nobility, an essentially wise people, listen to their wants and protect their lands, in exchange for taxes paid in kind.

Naming Conventions: Halflings use medieval English names, such as: Agnes, Arnold, Baldric, Edmund, Brice, Nigel, Helen, Letice, Margery, etc.
