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.
