There is a secret gnome realm listed in the Unapproachable east scource book. It does not however state much about the realm, or tell anything about it. Has anyone heard of this realm? |

Many thanks Sages! I have that tome of Dragon, as well as George's article (in Dragon 346)on the way. I look forward to delving into both sets of lore... |

how much info is given to Songfarla in the magazine (I won't be getting it for weeks  )? I'm reading the web supplement now, the Songfarla info is brief... |

For those that aren't already aware of the PDF article supplement (mentioned in another scroll), see here:- http://paizo.com/dragonissues/349/DR349_Supplement.pdf

George, Shadowjack, and I were also just recently talking about Songfarla in this scroll:- http://forum.candlekeep.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=7531&whichpage=2

I can't believe I am doing this...but it is #349. It details the Hordelands and Songfarla
Yeah, that's the one. ;-)

I know that...but that area is probably the most contested and magically currupted (as in fiend summoning, vile magic, etc.) in the Realms...imagine you escape slavery and a few decades later (considering a gnome's lifespan) you have all that crap going on around you... |

I wonder if the reason that (possibly) the last gnomish kingdom is at the edge of "civilized" Faerun is that this is the farthest the gnomish slave refugees reached when fleeing Netheril...
I wonder how the dates match between the Netherese exidus (sp?), the fall of the Imaskari, the whole Thay/Mulhorond thing and the Raumathar/Narfell war...that is alot of turbulant and dangerous history at your doorstep |

You never heard the name Fibean Lysander from me.... ever. Any rumors about the red wizard Fibean Lysander (who was wrongly reported as being a Zulkir prior to Spellbound, but is really just a powerful red wizard) are clearly lies and should not be believed.

Okay i know i originally posted this question, and ironically i found the answer the other day, when i was looking under the places of worship for gnomish gods in the Demihuman deities book. It actually details the Hidden realm of gnomes! So if you want to know about it just ask! I also found a cool gnomish mining community that is hidden from the Zents right under their noses. |

I'm going to side-step the issue a little bit (because, no, I haven't heard about it), and instead post a link to a rather old and long thread that detailed all sorts of Underdark cities. It started with deep gnomes and then sort of expanded. I refer to it often. Your answer might be within.
