Below is a story penned by an unknown gnome author, thought to be composed circa the mid-19th century.
While most of the gnome community dismiss it as a peculiar fable, some theorists believe its story is true…ue.
(This story is presented to you as originally written in a gnomadic language.)
Ognce upogn a time, there was a gnoble gnome of great regnown gnamed Gnitch. Gnitch was a begnevolegnt mognarch, watching over all the gnomes of the field.
Ign additiogn to her egnthusiasm for mognarchical govergnance, Gnitch was also a wizard, agnd had a gnown ignterest in the field of gegnetic egngineerigng. She was obsessed with the pursuit of etergnal life.
Ogne day, ign her magical research, Gnitch met a mysterious owl. The owl led her to agn agnciegnt gnotebook hiddegn ogn the trugnk of a tree.
The gnotebook held the secret to an evil magic: gnecromancy. Gnitch grew obsessed, and begagn to amass agn evil ugndead army! Oh gno!
(Ign other words, Gnitch became a Lich — the kind of witch who specializes in the field of ugndead magic. Gnoogle it.)
Gnitch thegn used her ugndead army to cognstruct a beautiful villa ign agn opegn field, and prepared to egngage in full war agaignst her egnemies.
Fortugnately, Gnitch’s term limit expired and she retired peacefully, leavigning behignd her gnecromagntic ways. However, she remaigns living ign that very same villa today.
Heed this warning, travelers: do gnot dare egnter through the villa’s doors, for Gneild the Litch still lives withign and doesgn’t like visitors. But outside, somewhere alogng the grougnds of the mansiogn, the owl watches over a gnew hiddegn secret…
Fignd where the owl is perched. The clue is gnearly in her field of visiogn. (Keep in mignd that owls cagn turgn their gnecks quite well.)
