Dread Gnomes are small, stocky, hardy people. They are intelligent, known for using traps and riddles to defend their stronghold. Dread Gnomes are excellent archers and are suspicious of outsiders.[1]
Dread Mountain, the capital of Emerald territory, is the largest mountain in the Barrier Mountains. Dread Gnomes dwell on and inside the mountain, and Kin inhabit its thick Boolong forests.[1]
The Emerald is the symbol of honour. It grows dull when evil is present or when a vow is broken. An antidote to poison, the Emerald also heals sores and ulcers.[2]
