I'm putting together the outline for Gnomes of Golarion and I want the authors to mention and describe as many gnome settlements as possible in this book. Dear readers, if you know of any references to settlements with significant gnome populations, please post them here and indicate what product you found it in so I can point our authors at it and they may expand upon it.

Thank you. :)


Brastlewark in Cheliax!


Finderplain in Katapesh. [Pathfinder Chronicles: Dark Markets, A Guide to Katapesh; pg. 14]

Omesta in Kyonin. [Pathfinder Adventure Path #17: Second Darkness, A Memory of Darkness; pg. 53]


Don't forget Whistledown in Varisia! (PF#2 p. 81, PF#3 p. 69)


Having just read the Campaign Setting, I was able to quickly dig out some details from it.

Gnomes:

Brastlewark, the capital of the Gnome King, Cheliax
Shay Citadels of Irrere near Holgrim,
Thom in the River Kingdoms,
Katapesh in Katapesh
Quantium in Nex
Kalsgard in Lands of the Linnorm Kings
Verduran Forest (Wispil)

Details of Interest:

Gnomes are often jockeys in Keleshite horse racing
Gnomes are one of the few races allowed in Kyonin

Spriggans & Svirfneblin:

Spriggan inhabiting a monolithic stone city in the Mwangi Expanse
Svirfneblin, deep gnomes, live in harmony in Sekaminan (Darklands)

Source:
Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting
p11,p24,p70,p89,p93,p136,p137,p205


If gnomes mentioned in the CS or other sources will be written up or mentioned by name, I would love to see something on Theo Rimplethember (Shackles salvager, CS 133). He's the most memorable gnome in the setting, though I will search for others.


Tho is really a she. But yeah, sailing the Spit in the Eye junk into the Eye of Abendego to salvage ships is bad ass nuttery.

Hrm. Looks like someone made a typo on the wiki. Teaches me not to check original sources.


This is a GREAT way to use the community, Sean.

"A largish gnome enclave adopted an abandoned Kyonin forest village en masse, then had the disarming temerity to treat the returning elves as honored guests."

Yavipho and Tiven’s Reed (Katapesh) - Legacy of Fire Companion, page 3

Dwimovel (Sekamina) - Into the Darklands, page 37 (Deep Gnomes count, right?)

This settlement is called Omesta, and is detailed more fully on page 17 of the same book.

Assuming my contribution made the cut for Guide to the River Kingdoms, I made reference to a significant gnome population overseeing a winch system for loading/unloading river barges in my kingdom writeup.

Don't have the book with me now, but there's a largely gnomish settlement just north of the Mushfens in Varisia. I'm sure some more attentive reader will give you the name.


My map tags for Almas have a settlement for gnomes in the northeast corner. Does that count?

(RPG Superstar 2009 Top 32)

Has anyone mentioned Nome, Alaska yet?

Wartle, on the map, sounds kind of Gnomish (then again, Whistledown also fits), but I didn't notice anything in the text about them.

Both of these have writeups in the Varisia gazetteer by James Sutter (in The Hook Mountain Massacre) and receive mention in the early entries of Eando Kline's Pathfinder's Journal. The gnome settlement is Whistledown, as has been noted above.


Gnomes exist in Quantium, of course, but it is hardly a gnome settlement. Rather, it is the cosmopolitan capitol metropolis of Nex.

How about Fraggle Rock?


Punish, punish.

This is not a real place.


Does the Sanos Forest enclave near Sandpoint have a name?

Yoda, buddy, none of these places are real places. I think you mean that this isn't from an officially published source.

Simplerose. Pathfinder #4 IIRC.
