The finesse of Artificer and Tinker gnomes has been more and more highly valued in the world, as technology has progressed. Most firearms originate from artificers, and bullets, gun powder and firearms are most easily available where gnomes gather.
In addition to the lineages Rock Gnome and Hill Gnome from the main rules, there are also Sky Gnomes on Zarthuga.
Sky Gnome
As a Sky gnome you have lived a life in the sky, on floating islands, on airships. You’ve learned to craft and use firearms. Not many in Zarthuga know your subrace exists. When travelling on ground, you try to seem like an “ordinary” Forest Gnome. But you can earn a living by selling firearms. Usually you might try to not sell many rounds or munitions, making most money off of selling the actual guns.
