Gnomish chemists actively research chemical agents and such in the Commonwealth. Is any other nation even mentioned to be pursuing chemical weapons, much less willing to use or produce them?
[/quote]My original NS said that Yllendthyr has good chemical industry. i don't wish to be on par with nations who are notably the "best" in the field but we do keep up. Or specialty is rather engines, jets and rockets. Elves love the speed and their religion would be pleased if the gain the capability to reach the stars.
And for some reason I thought your nation would rather hunt the Gnomes and put them into camps.
