Greetings, inhabitants of stopgame! Have you ever thought about such a wonderful fantasy race as gnomes?? No? But in vain! I have always wondered where the fair sex is among the dwarves? In games (and in films too) dwarves are never shown. Exceptions are MMOs. So let’s clarify the situation a little, do gnomes have women??
I’ll probably start with literary examples, and one of the most illustrative ones are Andrzej Sapkowski’s books about the adventures of the witcher Geralt of Rivia. Sapkowski, like Tolkien, well revealed the race of gnomes, showing their characters and way of life well. But bad luck, in all 7 books and 2 stories, Mr. Sapkowski never once mentioned the dwarfs, or better yet, the dwarves. But in the games of the Witcher series, a character named Zoltan Chivay once mentioned his failed wedding with one of the dwarves. But despite the very detailed world, even in Vergen, where dwarves walk around, you can’t find a single dwarf. We can assume that they all sit at home and don’t go out. And this guess can be confirmed by dialogues from the game The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. From which it can be emphasized that dwarves really exist in the world of the Witcher, moreover, dwarfs protect their women from prying eyes in every possible way, and are afraid that invaders will encroach on their wives. So let’s draw conclusions, gentlemen, there are still dwarves. What about the gnomes?
The next fantasy universe is the https://miamijackpotscasino.uk/bonus/ Lord of the Rings universe, which was described in detail by J.R.R. Tolkien. If you watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy from Peter Jackson, you won’t notice any dwarves there, so a logical question arises: With whom will Gimli live out his old age and raise his children?? Is it really with a human woman?? Even the Hobbit movie didn’t show us the dwarves? From this we can conclude that in the “Lord of the Rings” universe there are no dwarves, or they are very scary and they don’t want to show them to us.
And of course video games. Luckily for us, there is at least one exception in the gaming industry. The name of this exception is Dragon Age Origins. Almost the only fantasy role-playing game that showed the life of gnomes in such detail, and most importantly, showed gnomes, yes, yes, the most real gnomes! In addition, you yourself can create a gnome for yourself and even have a lover, be it Alistair or Zevran. I don’t know about Ogren.
Not only single-player RPGs are famous for dwarves, but MMOs too. Most MMOs allow us to create female gnomes, but they don’t really fit into the world of the game. For example: the harsh gnomes from Lineage 2 live here together with kawaii gnomes, whom one would hardly call gnomes. But in the same World of Warcraft there is a fairly well-developed universe, in which, like in The Lord of the Rings, there are halflings and gnomes. Only in WoW you are offered to create a rather canonical-looking gnome, stern, but no less feminine.
It so happened that you and I encountered Schrödinger’s dwarf. They seem to be there, but at the same time they are not there. And how gnomes reproduce in many universes is a rather interesting question that still has no answer. I hope you found it interesting and bye!
