Forest Gnomes
Bu madde henüz yalnızca İngilizce.
Forest gnomes are gnomes who live in the wild, with little or no contact with humans.1
The heart of thorns
The heart of thorns, a special procedure that the rangers of the Oakenheart Conclave undergo, originated with the forest gnomes a long time ago. In this risky ritual a ranger's heart is replaced with the roots of an ancient oak and a gemstone infused with the magic of nature.2
Bodies shaped by Fey magic are known elsewhere in the Lands of Exile: the wood elves grow their homes from untouched trees through their magical songs. The Oakenheart practice of the forest gnomes is a similar, though rare, example. Using such secret techniques requires having learned them in some way.3
Forest gnomes abroad
Yortkul Grootlegiggles, an Oakenheart ranger and the first of his conclave to be officially stationed in the forests of the Western Provinces, is a forest gnome. He was already used to living in the wild far from humans, misses speaking Gnomish, and goes out of his way to befriend any forest gnome he works alongside.1
