Burghal gnomes live
in, under, or near the cities and towns of other civilizations.
Like their woodland cousins, the burghal bloodlines
are excellent scavengers... and even thieves. Though
the true delight of the burghal gnome lies in the art
of tinkering (that semi-mythical branch of magic some
call "mechanical engineering,") burghal gnomes
are also likely to spend time tending lawns and gardens
(and exacting the price of the choicest produce).
Burghal gnomes take great delight
in puzzles and games, which helps to explain their relatively
high logic and intelligence, though that inclination
sometimes turns to a joy in pranks and dirty tricks
in the darker
bloodlines.
The burghal gnomes' tendency
to build their compounds (usually built of brick-lined
subterranean rooms and passages) near magical nodes
has been offered as one explanation for the burghal
gnomes' high aura, though the burghal bloodlines have
always held elemental magic and its adepts in very high
esteem.
