Gnomes

Originally created to serve and preserve knowledge for the Phantoms's, Gnomes are the smartest and most intelligent races alive in the Exisphere.

Society
Thre are a few cities filled with Gnomes on most of the continents in the Exisphere. The leaders of these cities are generally the strongest and most powerful houses. These houses consist of families with the same last name. The last name of a gnome is the same as the device their family produces. It is not uncommon for houses to lie, cheat, bribe and steal to improve their inventions and become more powerful, However, killing is deemed as a destruction of knowledge, the highest form of crime in gnome society and very hard to to get away with. Even though gnomes are very intelligent they lack creativity this results in a general lack of new ideas and inventions since the loss of their masters.
