Wendwillow

Endless wanderers of the forest, the Wendwillow bloodline of forest gnomes were known for their hospitality and diplomacy as well as their changeable personalities.

Wendwillow gnomes were easy-going and good-natured. They often stopped their wayfaring to heal environmental damage from fire or flood, and many are drawn to the healing profession. Their fickle nature leads many of them to worship the goddess Zelia.

Wendwillow gnomes have no institution of marriage. They choose seasonal partners called Summer Loves and Winter Loves. In some cases a couple renews those relationships throughout their lives, but in most cases the dalliances are for one season only.

Wendwillow artists are famous for working with sand. They blow glass, making wonderful colored objects for practical use and artistic design. At the end of a season, they are destroyed or hidden in the sand of a riverbank. Another unique art of the Wendwillow gnomes is sand painting. They use colored sand to create elaborate designs and realistic landscape paintings. They are created, enjoyed, then immediately destroyed.

The bloodmark of the Wendwillow consists of six wavy lines, arranged like the limbs of an ancient willow tree.
