Religion

Gnomes do have an over reliance on religion unlike other cultures but this does not mean they are not religious. Gnomes choose to believe in their own power or in usage of the power they receive from gods.

Sploron is a diety most gnomes tend to worship because of Sploron's love of creation and spreading of new ideas.

Demüen is a favorite among gnomes just because Demüen gives the gnomes the inspiration they need to write glorious works, create fine art, or make great pieces of technology.

Ootarm gives inspiration and power to gnomes interested in magic. in all pursuits of magic ever gnome will give Ootarm at least a small prayer of thanks for the power they have received.

Marisse watches over gnomes who take more to the shadows and trickery.

Language

Gnomish is a language based in descriptions. Gnomes have at least 10 different words for a single thing, and each of these words describe a slightly different aspect about that single thing. It is because of this robust vocabulary that gnomish is often used as a language of science and technology. Scholars like to use the gnomish language when describing events and ideas other cultures possess. While it may take many years for a non gnome to learn all of the Gnomish vocabulary, many gnomes do not nit pick a non gnomes usage of words. The scripting of the the language is similar to dwarven using runes and other pictographs to denote ideas and concepts.

Cultural Beliefs and Interests

For a gnome the difference between the truth and a lie is which one is more believable.Gnome Children are taught not be afraid of the dark. After all illusions are only we perceive them to be. Many gnomes will craft a trinket, candle, or some other object of personal value for a new born. This item usually stays with the child their entire lives.
