Gnomes of the Multiverse

Author's Note

Hey there, folks! Cam here, with a new series for you all - Lineages of the Multiverse! This grew out of a conversation I have SO MANY TIMES when I work with players to come up with characters for different settings: "Well, what are X people like in X world?" And that is especially poignant with the worlds we find in the published Wizards settings.

We are presented with Faerun, Eberron, Ravnica, Ravenloft, Theros, Strixhaven (Arcavios), the Feywild, and the First World.

I collected an amazing cast of writers and artists to help bring to life a series answering just that question: what are X people like in X world. In this sixth book, we dive into one of the base lineages of 5e: the gnomes. Easily a great pick for first time players and wild little pranksters, Griffin and Annie had a lot of fun writing these, and then Cayde just killed it with art.

With gnomes, they are predominantly fey, so how do we bring a unique spin to all of them in the different worlds? From the perspective of our writers, they chose to focus less on the gnomes themselves and more on what elements made each world unique, and how could that be incorporated in?

It was a lot of fun - especially in an art direction - to take a classic people from D&D's history and completely reimagine and redesign them. We hope you enjoy the second Lineages book as much as we enjoyed making it!

Wilderfolk of the Fey

Within this sixth book of the Lineages of the Multiverse, learn about the eight variants of gnomes across the multiverse. From the gnomos of the First World to the chaos gnomes of Eberron and the tinker gnomes of Ravenloft, explore and meet them in an all new light!

Annie and Griffin did an amazing job bringing these seven new lineages to life - using the Ancestry and Culture system - and Cayde's art brings them all to life in beautiful fashion.

Keep your eyes tuned for more multiverse projects coming down the pipe!
