It serves as a sovereign sanctuary for a community of wild gnomes who have eschewed the industrial life of their mainland kin to worship raw fey energies and the movements of the stars. They are the last remaining gnomes of Auken, pushed back onto the island by centuries of war and subjugation. Shrouded in mystery and protected by ancient, iron-clad peace treaties with the surrounding superpowers, the island is strictly off-limits to any foreign excursions or explorations. The gnomes’ culture remains largely unknown, though they are whispered to be masters of illusion, dwelling in star-gazing spires and hidden burrows that shimmer with ethereal light on nights when the celestial bodies align. ![[Pasted image 20260201180624.png]] ![[Pasted image 20260201180632.png]] ![[Pasted image 20260201180638.png]]
