Gnomes are distant cousins of the Dwarves. They are about the same height as Dwarves, but are considerably slimmer. Long ago a tribe of Dwarves made its home on the surface, far from their ancient home. Over the centuries this tribe changed, becoming less dependant on their muscles and more on their mind. As this progressed, the natural technological of the Dwarves was changed into something more refined than metallurgy or mining -- machinery. Where an Elf sees a waterfall and thinks of its natural beauty, and a Dwarf sees only the precious stones being smoothed in its waters, a Gnome plots water-wheels and dams. Gnomes are cunning and inventive, always thinking up new plots and trying to devise more and more efficient ways to do things. They make proficient Mages and Thieves, because they have the natural cunning and curiosity. Gnomes can see well in the dark due to their Dwarven ancestry, as well as a having an inborn increased resistance to hostile magics.
