'''Svirfneblin, '''also known more commonly as''' Deep Gnomes, '''are a distant [[List of Quelmar Subraces|subrace]] of [[Gnome|Gnomes]] that dwell in the [[Underdark]].

== About ==
Deep Gnomes are similar to build to surface gnomes, ranging in height anywhere from 2 to 3 feet. Unlike their surface brethren, deep gnomes are born with several inherit abilities, including the uncanny magical power to blur themselves, causing other creatures to become confused about the gnome's appearance and actions.

Deep gnomes are also born with a thick and dark grey skin, which wrinkles heavily as they age, causing older Svirfneblin to be so full of crevices and folds that they can seamlessly blend in with similarly colored terrain in the underdark.

== Behavior ==
Personality wise, Deep Gnomes are a dedicated race of miners and breeders. If you're not one, you're the other. Svirfneblin are often referred to as "sour company" due to their stoic work-addiction and their inability to trust outsiders. Though they are serious about their jobs, they do find joys and curiosity when it comes to gems..

Deep Gnomes subsist on a diet entirely made up of mushrooms and fungi, sometimes found in the wild, and sometimes farmed in their colonies. Their food is preserved in a salt so dense that non-Svirfneblin will often wretch and puke when trying to eat Deep Gnomish food.

Svirfneblin have friendly relations with '''Xorn''', sometimes even keeping them as pets or partners.

== Society ==
Deep Gnomes have "cities" that are composed of massive underground chambers dug deep under the Underdark's surface, in a sort of 'under-underdark'. Each chamber of the caverns has a specific purpose like the various buildings in a city. The can include workshops, libraries, bathhouses, forges, and anything else imaginable.

Deep Gnome homes are often carved out of massive stalagmites, or if there are none, just carved into the walls of the various caverns.

Female Svirfneblin run the home life, and are dedicated to creating and raising children, including other Gnome's children (it takes a village). But that doesn't mean there aren't some that go against the grain and become master craftsmen or miners.

Deep Gnome cities will almost always follow a King or Queen, or both.

=== The Festival of the Star ===
The Festival of the Star takes place every year in the underdark as a remembrance ceremony to mark the falling of the deep gnomes from the surface, and to remind them that they are connected with their surface brothers through the boundary. During the festival, the ceiling of the Underdark, or the ceiling of Svirfneblin caverns, is coated with a special fungus that illuminates itself, creating the semblance of a night sky illuminated with stars.

It has been noted during the ceremony that the Deep Gnomes chant "The Festival of the Star" in unison over and over, much to the annoyance of others.
