So, I've been writing a small book for Gnome story contest, using the theme of the trickster character that almost all cultures have, specifficaly in this case the character of Ijapa. But still lack a few things and I was woundering what folks think would be the kind of moral outlines elder Gnomes would want to let the younger Gnomes know about. For instance,

1) The idea of trying to not be overly courious to the point of putting yourself in serious danger.

2) Not to "tinker" with other peoples things.

3) Don't try and be what you are not just because you live in a world of big people.

4) Borrowing is stealing.

You get the idea I understand some of those might be a bit generic of the proto-typical Gnome and not apply as greatly to DR Gnomes.
