Svirfneblin 
Silent and wary, the svirfneblin (or deep gnomes) dwell in mines an caverns far beneath the surface of the world. While they are master artisans, miners, and gemcutters, and welcomed as neutral merchants among many Underdark races, deep gnomes are suspicious and serious creatures. Their holdings are hidden from the predatory races that share the Underdark with them because only caution, stealth, and cooperation with others of their kind stand between the svirfneblin and a terrible end.
