Gnome's: Info, Architecture, and Story - Part 2

Architecture: This info here is what I have read and been told from someone who played EQ2 a while ago. Couldnt find pictures of any Gnome buildings on the internet and EQ2's website didnt help either. Few pictures I did find were from EQ1 and everything was pretty much just boxes with textures that looked like metal.

1. There buildings are built out of 2 primary materials. Metal and Wood. Things such as stone, bricks, cloth are rarely used.
2. Gears galore - lots of there buildings feature rotating gears of all sizes.
3. Small houses but big doorways so all races can entre a gnome building.
4. Intertwine of technology and magic. Things like death rays, powered orbs and other things of that nature.
5. Primarily made out of metal for walls.
6. Lots of engines, moving parts, smoke stacks, presure guagues and blinking lights.
7. Over the top and flamboyant architecture. Not so much as World of Warcraft style if you are familar but close to it.
8. Lots of things to generate power
9. In there homeland of Ak'Anon they have large metal windmills to generate power.
10. Things are powered by steam engines
11. Observation towers for seeing off into the far distance for protection of any oncoming threat
12. Gnomes stick to themselves (from other races) but are a form cohesive whole. Same goes for there citys.
13. Massive machinery thought the city. Used to pump water to the inhabitance. Water also provides power.
14. Gnomes tend to live in groups within the city identified by there guild such as Spellcasters research near the big Library.
15. Evil Gnomes inhabit the more rundown/poluted part of the city. Lots of drains, smoke and other polutant things I would assume.
16. Scattered througt are clockwork signs to help you find your way.
17. Citys generally tucked away in mountain regions to provide protection/isolation. This dosnt mean that generally the whole town is surrounded by mountains just that its up in the mountains and protected atleast on one side by terrain.
