Book Text:
Gnomes are well known for
their creativity and
willingness to make the
impossible happen. They
have always walked their
own path, almost oblivious
to the opinions and often
disparagement of others.
Their world is full of
idiosyncrasies, ritual,
habit and relentless
effort. These volumes
| explore all of those
aspects as they are
expressed in the symbols,
art, and mechanical
creations of Gnomes from
their first diagrams to
modern Gnomish art. It
appears that the author's
intent is to discover how
these artistic expressions
affect and reflect the
lifestyles and attitudes of
|
| the society. Once those
symbols are discovered, the
author finds creative ways
to put them to use on
armor.
This volume discusses
in-depth the use of color
in Gnome culture. Their
love of the earth and metal
shows in the colors of
their art and armor, but
| the author discovers
several brighter colors,
such as yellow, that have
power to influence those
that see it.
Among the pages of
discussion about these
symbols is a pattern. This
pattern blends the most
inspirational colors in
Gnome history with a simple
|
| symbol to expose the power
of those colors. You know
that you will be able to
reproduce this pattern many
times before the book
becomes worn and you must
replace it.
To create pattern for
tailoring armor templates
based on these patterns you
will need this book, a
| large bottle of ink, a roll
of high quality vellum, a
quill and a compacted
backpack to hold the
patterns you will make.
You'll also need a book
binding to do the work.
