Gnomes

By -
Mythologically speaking Gnomes are no more than 15 centimeters tall. That is less than 6 inches! For the purpose of this game, we are going to make these little guys and gals the size of your common ceramic, garden Gnomes: 2 feet. There is an amazing publication on the lore behind Gnomes written by Wil Nuygen. It contains hundreds of wonderful illustrations by an artist named Rien Poortvliet and has served as the fundamental source of our knowledge on Gnomes. Team Epimetheus tips their collective hats to the time and effort spent in collecting this data.

For the purpose of this game, we decided to make Gnomes a mischievous race with an unmatched sense of smell. Not only do they have a natural connection with wildlife, but they are also the games natural choice for potion creation. Gnomes are versatile people and can be found throughout all of Epimetheus, but they hail from the nation of Linkkert.

Share with us your take on Gnomes and what you would like to see done with them for game purposes.

As the lore goes, Lucifer, being the most magnificent of all of God's creations, sought to assume the throne of Heaven by overthrowing his creator. There is some debate about the motivation of this move. Some say that Lucifer refused to bow down to mankind as we were created to be higher than the angels themselves leading to division among the celestial heavens. Others claim that Lucifer argued on behalf of mankind's souls which were destined to wander aimlessly throughout time in the afterlife. As you can see one sid...

Big-Med-Small At long last, we can celebrate the completion of the remastering of every race on Aborlon! If you would like to see the full to-scale image you can find it in this lair. It is the background image of this lair's home page. On my PC I need zoom out to 67% to see the full image, try it on your PC and let us know what magnification you can see the whole image on. If you are using a phone...well that is just way too much imagination for your hand-held device. We have big races and small races, colorful and fuzzy races, flying and galloping races. I mean there is already such an abundance of choices that some people might just say we are getting a little carried away. But we have unleashed the hounds of creativity, and this is only the beginning! To get you up to speed with the accomplishments of this summer and a bit of size perspective we have included a to-scale image of our largest, mid-sized and compact-sized avatars. This should give you a rough idea of what...
