In the Bozark Mountains, there are little pockets of villages that do not belong to the halfling nation. Unlike the bulk of the Bozark Mountain range, these little pockets are part of the gnome nation. The gnomes of Adhumlia are very low in population, and therefore didn't get much land when everything was split up many centuries ago.
In total, there are eight little pockets: four to the north of the road and four to the south. It is not widely known, but the two sides are currently at war. Each side blames the other for losing the gift the god of the gnomes gave to them. The fighting is actually quite heated with the gnomès often capturing and killing innocent travelers. It has become so bad that the gnomes have segerated themselves according to hair color. One color makes you a north gnome, and the other color makes you a south gnome. This has lead to families being torn apart and friends betraying one another. To be honest, no one is really sure how the war started. If you ask, most gnomes wîll say they don't remember, as if they just woke up one day at war with each other.
Despite being at war, the towns of the gnomes are really all the same. They're all located in valleys within the mountains with a large rock wall around their property. The buildings are all made of rock and wood that were cleared away when building started. There are many small farms on the edges of the towns but still within the walls. Each of the towns has its own ruler, but they each answer to a larger king in either the north or south. Of course the gnomes consider the north and south to be different nations, so they each answer to their own ruler.
