The most common of the gnomes, these clan-organized creatures live beneath the earth in burrows, usually in remote areas of hills and forest. They are fun-loving creatures that enjoy a sense of humor, and the occasional prank or friendly rivalry. They have a companionship with animals, particularly those that live within the earth as they do. Their skin is tan to woody-brown, with fair hair and eyes of any blue shade. Because their homes are often set in natural surroundings, their culture has a healthy respect for the sanctity of nature and generally abhors the use of undead and similar necrotic powers. Rock gnomes have a natural disposition towards the light, though there are those among them that follow the path of twilight.
