The svirfnebli are the gnomes of the deepest caverns and darkest tunnels beneath the earth. Far from prying eyes, these wee folk find delight in working the stone and gems of their deep homes and bringing forth beauty in their ever-darkened realm. They are masters of hiding themselves from those that prey the underground, with skin the color of stone, and blocky bodies that blend into their surroundings. Within their small forms they gather the strength of rock itself, bringing the weight of its fury upon those who invade their domains.
