Gnomes

"Gnomes are an oddity. No one seems to have any strong opinions on gnomes, and, indeed, many people often forget they exist at all. They have no racial epithets, no stereotypes, no real... population center. I, as well, have very little to say on gnomes, except that their nondescriptness is... paradoxically remarkable."

-Patricia Morello, "On Ioglith and it's Many Facets of Civilization"

Physical Traits
In terms of height, gnomes are comparable to halflings. They can be anywhere from 3 feet to 4 feet tall. Gnomes are bipedal, and tend to have rounded, slightly thickset frames. Their ears are small, pointed, and extend horizontally from their head.

They tend to have golden, or brown skin, and those that dwell within Kthonos are said to have blue skin.

Gnomes tend to grow hair only on their head, face, and feet.

Diet
Gnomes usually eat nothing but bread, or other grain-based foodstuffs.

Lifespan
Gnomes generally live around 90 years.

Reproduction
Gnomes give live birth, after a period of pregnancy that generally lasts 5 months. Most gnomish pregnancies result in 2 or 3 children. Though rarely only one child will be born.

Population
No one seems to keep track of gnome populations, and there doesn't seem to be any nation where they are significantly more populous. They're everywhere, but they seem to have no real home to call their own.
