Chapter 1

It could be said, in a wise and gnomish way, that Drifelda's
proclivities for violence and drive towards the destruction
of the cities stemmed from her father. It wasn't so much due
to genetics or even violent parenting. But, it could be said,
that it all came about because a young gnome baby was born
to a couple and they named her Drifeldarelda Ezelda. From
an early age, she had to constantly defend herself from the
other children of Hillcrest who were so cruel as to make fun
of her name and, worse, call her parents dullards. Pushing,
shoving, biting, and eventually learning about punching
and kicking, the young gnome began to separate herself from
the more rigorous studies of the mind and take up the use
of blades. While normal swords were fine for human stock and
their equivalent outside of Hillcrest, they were too long
and wieldly for the typical gnome. So, she studied the human
dagger, which looked much like a sword in her hands.

With long-suffering, she did what most other gnomes never
could. Drifelda became a warrior. It took years of patience
and practice. When the other children became victims of a
well-executed trip or poke in the rear with tip of her dagger,
they finally gave her a little respect. The gnome child grew
and the ignominy of her name became non-issue. Her mother
even nicknamed her Little Root to assuage the guilt of the
grief it caused her child. Things fell into swing.

But at an age of more self-awareness, it became apparent to
Drifeldarelda Ezelda that all was not in swing. She looked
around Hillcrest and saw gnomes, young and old, the embodiment
of wisdom and knowledge... and saw it wasted. Yes, there
were studious gnomes who spent a lifetime pouring over tomes
and gleaning every bit of information they could find, but
what use was it if all anyone ever did was sit around telling
each other how smart they were? Feeling she could not learn
the answers in Hillcrest, she took her skills, her dagger,
and her favorite pipe and went off adventuring into the world.
