Laneel

Laneel, referred to at times simply as Gnome or Gnome Emissary, is a gnome emissary currently visiting Keldagrim, apparently to negotiate some type of deal with the Consortium. He is the leader of three gnome emissaries that claim to be from the Grand Tree. Upon completion of Forgettable Tale of a Drunken Dwarf, he can no longer be found in-game.

Laneel and his companions can be found upstairs in the King's Axe Inn, the city's most up-scale bar. They are dressed in red, a color uncharacteristic of the gnomes. This, it would seem, is to appeal to The Red Axe, the Consortium's most economically powerful company.

During Forgettable Tale of a Drunken Dwarf, it is revealed that Laneel and his companions are actually from Arposandra, the evil city founded by the mage Glouphrie. He was sent to see that Hreidmar, the Red Axe Director, was making progress in the production of chaos dwarves. Although details are foggy, it would seem Arposandra wants to use chaos dwarves in their growing army.

The players' mind is erased before the quest ends, leaving them with no memory of Hreidmar's true plans. When the King's Axe Inn is visited again, the gnomes have left.
