BG3 is my first introduction to anything DnD (not counting all the modern fantasy stories heavily inspired by it) so I'm counting on you veterans to help me out here.
Are gnomes typically mistreated in the world? You see both rock and deep gnomes enslaved during the game, and it appears that they aren't given much respect by other races.
From what I understand of them, gnomes are highly intelligent and are responsible for many technological feats. They also don't bother anybody and are generally good people.
Is this just a BG3 thing, or are gnomes abused as a rule in DnD?
