#Deep gnomes

[mightymizora]

I think my favourite thing about deep gnomes (yeah I’m not done) is that one of the few lore related things we know about them is that they’re often assumed to be evil or bad because they’re from the Underdark but often it’s just that they are standoffish or protective towards anybody outside of their clan because survival is so difficult. And when you actually get to know them they are often just as sweet and jovial and loving as any other gnome. Their society is really stark not because they are necessarily hard or cold but because they’ve consistently had their lore and their status destroyed over and over by other societies.

And the game shows us that! Barcus is not friendly when you meet him but slowly warms up, and other deep gnomes just don’t trust your intentions, and then some like Philomeen and Wulbren are just too committed to the idea of freeing their people from the cycles of violence that they are almost completely lost to it.

It’s SO GOOD ACTUALLY

I'm not censoring this over tiddies. I'm just not doin' it.

I went into BG3 not expecting to have Muds romance anyone - but at the end of the day he can't resist a weird mean girl and Lae'zel was the weirdest, meanest girl. Their relationship did not survive Act 3, but I am real fond of the dynamic they picked up both during and post-romance.

It's this, by the way, this is the dynamic.

Confession: Why are all the male deep gnomes so hot? They've awakened something in me.

BG3 is my first introduction to anything DnD (not counting all the modern fantasy stories heavily inspired by it) so I'm counting on you veterans to help me out here.

Are gnomes typically mistreated in the world? You see both rock and deep gnomes enslaved during the game, and it appears that they aren't given much respect by other races.

From what I understand of them, gnomes are highly intelligent and are responsible for many technological feats. They also don't bother anybody and are generally good people.

Is this just a BG3 thing, or are gnomes abused as a rule in DnD?

When Gale married a deep gnome, he did not think that meant he was marrying a literal treasure troll

Deirdre just has a really particular sense of style 😂

The deep gnome bard Ijech in our DnD party is often seen by my dark elf Deimos as 'just a small gnome'. But often this small gnome is truly the leader and negotiator of our group the Grey Wardens.

Lately Ijech seemed to be a bit lost however. I suppose dying during the dragon fight and getting revived through magic does that to you. :( Ijech saw things when she died and has now started to question the legitimacy of the gods and she's seeking guidance elsewhere. So of course Deimos will provide~

Deimos started working on a new spell of his: Dream. I talked this plan over with the GM of our DnD campaign and he agreed to let me cast this spell on another partymember. When the night fell the GM asked everyone else to leave the table except for Ijech and Deimos.

I described that Ijech in her dreams wakes up in a luxurious mansion. Tall windows looking out over the vast dark elf city of Menzoberranzan. As Deimos approached her Ijech suddenly went: "Oh, it's the Deimos dream. Again." This took Deimos by surprise. Deimos: "Again? You dream about me more often?" Ijech: "Wait?! You're really here???!!"

The Dream went on with Deimos explaining that he needs Ijech's help. He needs to reach the famous city of magic: Ephelium.

Extra: Ijech's player later described the start of the scene so vividly saying: "It's a moment of terror when the GM turns to the drow player and just says 'Take it away'!"
