Strange machines surround the entrance to Ak'Anon, the home of the gnomes. Gnomes are industrious and mechanically inclined. They like to tinker and build all manner of devices. Like the "clockwork" spider and the observatory near the entrance to the Ak'Anon in the Steamfont Mountains.
The entrance into the heart of Ak'Anon. One of the gnomes' numerous mechanical servants, or "clockworks", guards the doorway.
Steam wafts up from a huge machine that oozes toxic discharge into the sickly green underground lake. Rusty metal walkways lead out to the huge machine on the lake.
More machines wherever you look in the city of the Gnomes. Ak'Anon is not a garden spot. More rusting catwalks on the polluted green lake.
In the deepest section of the city, the polluted green water drives a paddlewheel as it tumbles down a waterfall and disappears into a subterranean river. The Gnomes also study magic, but from their own perspective.
Although gnome clerics are rarely seen, they do have a spiritual side. Inside the abbey, more clockwork servants.
