No Gnomes?

There are Orcs, Elves and Dwarves. Gnomes would round out the traditional fantasy races. Any chance they might be included as maybe a race that has been successful throughout all the biomes by adapting using their tinkering abilities?

Gnomes are Livestock for Orcs so i think Barns and Coops would be appropriate.

I'd just save time by copyright-infringing the Smurfs. Shroom-houses,blue skin, and the cheapest white hats ever made for everyone!

well gnomes could be a failed mutation experiment of a mad dwarf sientist that may on events spawn. and instead like dwarfs digging and hideing their gold. they loose it wile they walk around

apearance or houses like a infectouse desease that spread throu a mountain forest and lets grow giant mushrooms on trees and on the ground.

Given that there has been mention of a potential for an underrealm lineage of elves, I would like AoC Gnomes to also originate/exist in the underrealm.

As far as a particular cultural influence, for AoC Gnomes, it should be something completely alien. Where the Tulnar are a result of many many years of - I think - interbreeding between the various remaining species, instead, AoC Gnomes would have various types of mutations that would include geological as well as underrealm flora influences. Portions of their bodies would be covered in ore, gems, or rock. While other AoC Gnomes may include underrealm fungi/flora integrated into their bodies.

Perhaps they are spawned from the core of Verra!

The Gnomish node would have a central opening into the underrealm, surrounded by large geological protrusions, on the surface, which would house the node's various structures and player housing. As the node levels, more rings of large geological protrusions would be created, expanding out from the entrance to the underrealm (essentially, an expanding circle of rings of large sections of geological formations protruding up from the ground).

For defense, instead of walls, the node would have a large external chasm, surrounding the node, which would expand and always be outside the outermost ring of geological structure/housing protrusions. Access into the node would be by bridges across the defensive chasm.

I'd like Gnomes to have basically the vibe that Lalafels have in FFXIV. They may look cutesy and sweet, but are generally purely chaotic and often have mischievous or evils streaks to them.

The part I like most about their lore, is the origin of their Black Magic, which has root in their funerary rites.

I’d rather have Kender than Gnomes.
