Gnome character background

The rarest of demi-human races, you are inherently curious about music and magic. You likely lived near Ptolus, in a village dominated by humans or halflings. Or, it's possible that you came from as far away as the Moonsilver Forest, living among the elves. The 30+ mile journey from there to Ptolus would have been farther than most of your kind ever travel.

Your race has little mystery in its background, and your personal background was probably equally humble. You might have been a bard, sage, or tinkerer. You might have begun arcane studies which outgrew your humble surroundings.

In Ptolus, your size won't be an obstacle. You could be considered an equal, and even rise to prominence. Perhaps joining the Inverted Pyramid would be in your future, or finding a place in within the Shuul, an organization that promotes technology. You could even become a famous loremaster, sage, or alchemist. Or perhaps becoming richer than any gnome you've ever known would be enough.
