Holt Gnome

AR-Holt Gnomes r1

The Holt Gnomes are the valley's forest gnomes - the green path of their people: a hidden burrow nation under one great wooded hill, in an alliance older than the valley's records with the badgers who dug the first tunnels. Small and stocky, around three and a half feet tall, dressing in greens and browns, private to the point of invisibility and kind past the point of sense. They live two to three centuries.
