Gnomes of Sapience,

I am pleased to announce the creation of the Gorshire Neoblastic Omnicompetency Macarizing Endowment, or G.N.O.M.E.

The G.N.O.M.E. has been established as a means for Gnomes, young and old, to pursue their interests for the betterment of Gorshire and Gnome-kind.

Out of work because the mine you had been working is blockaded? Always yearned to wield a paintbrush instead of a pickaxe? Want to attend Gorshire University but you cant afford the tuition? Dream of becoming a certified Physician and practicing medicine? Being a commodities processing foreperson your forte? These examples and many more would qualify for use of the G.N.O.M.E.

Selected applicants will receive direct tuition remittance where applicable, and a suitable stipend for food and housing allowances, if necessary. Placement assistance following matriculation is also available, if desired.

I would like to emphasize that there are no strings attached to recipients of the G.N.O.M.E.

Interested Gnomes should submit an application via post to me containing their name, age, current occupation, desired use of the G.N.O.M.E., any family history of mining-related demises, and any extenuating circumstances that those adjudicating applications should be aware of. Applications will be processed and decided on a rolling basis.

Take a chance on yourself. Youre worth it.

Resectfully,

Wjoltyr Togwick, Gravity Mage
