Vella

Vella
The hills of Vella are where the gnomes live. They have kept goodwill with their halfling neighbors in Verd for many years, though they are far more curious and eager to explore the world. The academies of Vella are acknowledged to be the best in the world where mechanical sciences and handcrafting are concerned and as a result, gnome artisans are in high demand. Trainee artisans spend a ‘journeyman year’ travelling the world, working wherever they are required, usually as jewelers, stonemasons or metal-smiths. The capital city of Vella is Quinazzi, the ‘pale snow jewel’, a city of canals, walkways and intricate stone fascias.
