+	About 75 years ago, the gnomish clan heads set out to take strategic
+ positions in the northeastern foothills and rocky outcroppings of the 
+Eastern Mountains and the Dragonspine. Once there, they quickly - and 
+unsurprisingly, to most who followed politics - announced a sovereign 
+Gnomish nation, while recognising its eternal and unseverable ties with 
+the Church and the rest of the Western Kingdom. There was little resistance 
+to the idea, as the two nations have - for as long as they've existed - 
+freely traded troops, technology, and information. Gnomish recon troops 
+and cannon crews, for example, regularly go into battle alingside Royal 
+Cavalary units. Gnomish engineers are routinely found working in Throne, 
+passing on gnomish tech to humans (who sometimes refine it, but usually 
+just abuse it). The clan leaders of the gnomish holdings also claim to
+have opened communications with the dwarves of stonehold, and trade with
+them on a limited basis. Attempts to communicate with Stonehold through 
+the clan leaders, however, have failed. Their capitol city, Breech, is 
+the largest of only a few gnomish cities in the holdings. It lies on top 
+of an ancient inactive volcano, and entrances to the underdark. Citizens 
+of the western kingdom are allowed to come and go as they please, but 
+half-orcs and elvish types are held in some suspicion.
