Glunkwheigl

Glunkwheigl is the home city of the gnomes. Unlike any other city, it has mechanical suspensions and is capable of lifting its whole bulk from the ground. Protected in multiple ways from simple military through artificial defense systems going so far as installing forcefields, the City itself is governed by a central processing unit known as Prime, Pri'mus or simply "Hey, City!"

History
Glunkwheigl 4.0 is a walking city currently believed to be residing under the Solinar Mountains or nearby, attaching itself to the upper granite slate. The city was built during the last orc war after the previous Glunkwheigl 3.2 was badly damaged by the fiendish orc hordes of Kabraxis and Rabio. Glunkwheigl 4.0 has been built near the Myst Forest and it entered the Undercaverns through the Old Mine, its powersurges making large blocks of gem (mostly ruby and emerald) come to life and attack anything on sight.

Legislation
Gnomish legislation makes no bloody sense even to the gnomes themselves. They go by whatever they think is right at the moment, though their immense amount of intellect keeps them from actually destroying themselves or their surroundings - most of the time.
