Durloff: /* Directions */

''The [[Gnomes |gnome]] village of Gnimh is far removed from the greater kingdom of the [[Gnomes |gnomes]]. Originally established as an exploratory encampment years ago, Gnimh has grown to be the point of contact between [[Gnomes |gnomes]] living in the greater Midgaardian area, and their kin back home. In order to better facilitate this an administrative complex was built, which later took on the additional task of training the promising youth of the "frontier" in the ways of diplomacy and scholarship. The village itself boasts only a modest population, mostly comprised of students and staff for the academy, most [[Gnomes |gnomes]] preferring to live quietly in the surrounding countryside.''

'''Level Range:''' 5-10

'''Builder:''' Nadreck

== Directions ==

Walking route from [[Nom |Nom]]: 9n, 3e, d, 2e, 5n, 5w, 4n, 2w, 2u.

Walking route from [[Sol |Sol]]: 3e, 2n, 3e, 5n, 2w, s.

[[Portal |Portaling]] point(s) suggested: [[Ezra The Trader |Ezra]], [[Academy Steward |Academy steward]].

== Connections ==

This area is connected to [[:Category: Highways/Great Wall|Highways/Great Wall]], [[:Category: Rivers Of Avatar|Rivers of Avatar]], [[:Category: River Folk|River Folk]], and [[:Category: Underway Tunnels|Underway Tunnels]].

== Navigation ==

Most adventurers enter from the [[:Category: Highways/Great Wall|Highways/Great Wall]]. The first section is a linear path leading through the town. The end of the path splits of into two, with the east path going to the [[:Category: Underway Tunnels|Underway Tunnels]], and the west path going to the academy. Most of the mobs are in the academy. The academy has four floors and a basement.

== Adventuring ==

The Village of Gnimh is similar in concept to [[:Category: Town Of Solace |Solace]], except it has fewer [[:Category: Mobs |mobs]] and a smaller [[Level |level]] range on [[:Category: Mobs |mobs]]. As with [[:Category: Town Of Solace |Solace]], [[:Category: Mobs |mobs]] here will lower your [[Alignment |align]], but it's a good place to pick up [[Experience Points |xp]] if you don't care about [[Alignment |alignment]] (it's farther from [[Sol |Sol]], hence, it has less players running through it.)

As with [[:Category: Town Of Solace |Solace]], there are a large number of [[Wandering Mobs |wandering]] [[:Category: Mobs |mobs]], and a few stationary shopkeeps/officers/etc. Roughly, the order of difficulty is:
* Children/Youths
* Citizens, Cadets, Freshmen
* Villagers, Sophomores, Seniors
* Shoppies/Guards/Officers

As with most other low [[Level |levels]], use [[Consider |consider]] liberally to find out the size of the [[:Category: Mobs |mob]] you're fighting.

The [[:Category: Areas |area]] itself is made up of two main parts: the village (where you enter from the [[:Category: Highways/Great Wall |White Stone Road]]), and in the southeast corner of the village, the Gnimh academy. Again, no outstanding [[:Category: Mobs |mobs]] or [[Aggressive Mobs |aggies]], just well written [[:Category: Rooms |rooms]] with lots of [[Wandering Mobs |wandering]] [[:Category: Mobs |mobs]].

As far as [[:Category: Gear |gear]] is concerned, the jeweller has the [[Jeweler's Loupe |Jeweler's Loupe]], which is the only piece of [[:Category: Int Gear |int gear]] for the head for a long time. Get it if you need a bit of an int boost for [[Practice |practicing]].

For those interested in lore, this area contains quite a bit about the history of gnomes, as well as some culture. Those looking for an amusement can attempt to find the fourth floor of the academy. Nothing there, but fun to find. (Hint: figure out how the elevator works.)
