Aere Gnomes

Aere Gnomes are tinkerers by nature, and were the first to venture to Arnae, in primitive airships, powered solely by hot air captured in balloons. They built Thunderstoke Citadel close to a thousand years ago, over the ruins of a long forgotten and dead city. They are governed democratically, voting every 6 years for a new Premier and delegates (no one may hold their seat for longer than one term, per 24 years), from the 5 districts of Windeholm city.

Donderslag, the Citadel district, is known for the government buildings and homes of the wealthy. Sventa is the Holy district, home to the temples of the 60 little gods and their priests and priestesses. Uafu, the Docks district, takes in trade airships and houses much of the city's taverns and inns, catering mainly to airship sailors. The Piyasa or Market district, is the home of commerce. Lastly, the Opifex district is home to the makers, mages and collegium.

Playing an Aere Gnome is all about being an innovative and enterprising soul. You love inventing and tinkering, and bashing one thing against another until a brand new thing is made. You tend toward chaos, but in a organized way.
