Book of the Gnorm
[earth / spirit]
- Gnorm (of the Surface, City)
- Gnorm (of the Surface, Wild)
- Gnorm (of the Deep)
Gnorm are a more interesting race than most give them credit
for. Like the Elve, the Gnorm (guh NOHRM)
are a spirit race, bound to the magical energies (the Tapestry) of the
Chaos around them. Unlike the Elve, the Gnorm are equally bound
to the land around them and are continually effected, shaped and changed
by their environment. Those few non-Gnorm understand why, Gnorm
refer to each others' subrace with the word Gnorm. Gnorm do not
distinguish between their own subraces. Astute observers of the
Gnorm have noticed that the varying subraces are never seen in the company
of one another.
Physiology: What is the secret of the Gnorm?
The Gnorm are a mutable race. They naturally shift from one
form to the next depending on their environment. The shift is physical,
magical, and psychological. Gnorm are aware of the change that will
occur when moving from one place to the next, and for that reason they
rarely willingly move from one environment to another. Moving between
areas entails the surrendering of one's personality to another that is
more adept for that environment. Should the Gnorm move back to the
"original" area, the personality will return.
Psychology: A single Gnorm may live multiple
lives in this fashion, with personalities that are aware of other lives,
and some that remain oblivious or ignore the other facets. Gnorm
often have different names for each of the personalities (and forms).
