Glimmergil

Gnomes tend to be pretty unpredictable, but once they’ve found an entertaining idea, they tend to stick with it. So although it sounds redundant, the capital city of Glimmergil on the Glimmergil Gulf in the country of Glimmergil is a much-beloved location of the world’s seat of Gnomish power. It is largely bountiful, rolling hills surrounding the gulf and bordered on the north by the Shining River. The gnomes make use of the river’s flow to generate power using their impressive technology. This gnomish ingenuity fused with their abundant magical resources gained from decades of close study of the veil surrounding Aevengard to the south. An impassable magical barrier like that was far too much for an curious gnome to ignore, and they gained a wealth of magical knowledge from it, generating their signature techno-mages, versed in both magic and engineering. Many other races enjoy visiting this haven of gnome-kind, but very few would ever feel very settled there.

Notable Groups in Glimmergil

 * The Techno-Mages: This unique group of gnomes blends their natural aptitude for engineering and their wealth of magical knowledge gained from their proximity to the Aevengard border. No one really seems to get the hang of the practice besides gnomes, but a few have tried.
 * The Glimmering Throne: Gnomes are never really ruled by anyone, but the person in charge is the Queen on the Glimmering Thone. The jokes are exactly what you would expect.

Notable Locations in Glimmergil

 * Techo-Mage Academy for Gifted Practitioners of the Technological and Scientific Arts of Mysticism: Usually just known as The Academy, no one but a gnome has ever passed and joined the ranks of the techno-mages.
 * The Shining River: While the river itself is somewhat ordinary, the south bank of the Shining River is the most lively stretch of Glimmergil countryside. Dotted along the bank with ornate and ostentatious mill wheels, estate after estate generates energy from the river to power experiments, inventions, and often even practical jokes.
