Deep sea gnomes are aquatic gnomes of the deep sea who live in the Emerald Sea. Meticulous crafters who work with pearls, coral, and anemone to create wondrous items, they are also known to be hoarders of undersea wealth. These hoards are kept in their catacombs carved from coral and stone.<\/p>\n
Deep sea gnomes stand 3\u00bd to 4 feet tall and weigh 40 to 45 pounds. Their deep green skin is slightly transluscent and moist to the touch. Their hair is silver, reflecting many colors of light, and their eyes can be any shade of blue. Deep sea gnome males prefer short, carefully trimmed beards. Deep sea gnomes generally wear scale shirts woven together from deep sea fish, and they decorate their clothes with intricate coral stitching or finely-polished shells. Deep sea gnomes reach adulthood at about age 40, and they live about 350 years, though some can live almost 500 years.<\/p>\n
Deep sea gnomes speak their own language, D’aquagnome. Most deep sea gnomes who travel outside gnome waters (as traders, tinkers, or adventurers) know Common and Aquan, while warriors in gnome settlements usually learn Aquatic Goblin or related languages. <\/p>\n
