Whisper Gnome
Whisper gnomes are creatures of stealth and suspicion. In profession and behavior they range from peaceful recluses to dangerous spies, lacking their cousins' jovial nature and easy outlook on life. Whisper gnomes are slightly taller than other gnomes, standing 3 1/2 to 4 feet tall, with a thin, almost gaunt build. Their skin ranges from light grey to light green, though the variation is rarely noticeable without careful attention. Their hair is dark, and their eyes are often some shade of blue or grey, though rarely bright or striking. Gnomes live 350 to 500 years.
