Autognomes are mechanical beings who were made by gnome inventors and tinkerers, often resembling the maker in one way or another, and are used for various purposes such as exploration, rescue, guard duty, and similar objectives.
Despite being able to understand and even speak Gnomish, they are easily discernable from true Gnomes even when trying to disguise themselves by adorning different clothes, as even the best-built Autognomes produce mechanical sounds.
Sometimes, whether the owner sent them on a task or they had their own reasons to leave their current life, they ventured bravely into the world to do the deeds that make them famous, with names like Robbie, Sparky, Bracer, Unroid, and Azerty.
Good Autognome Names
Autognome names usually depend on their purpose and on the person who created them. This means that the ones created for guard duty might have names that allude to their combat capabilities, some might only use the first letters of their full name, while those who are meant to rescue trapped miners, for example, might have a more hope-alluding name.

Autognomes are mechanical gnomes who resemble their owners and are said to even have a soul. Able to understand and speak Gnomish, they can be very versatile depending on who made them and how, and they are used for a variety of different objectives such as rescuing people, guarding houses, serving as assistants, and much more. Depending on their quality they can exist for several centuries but are also often scraped at the end of the day, allowing the creators to use the parts for a new one.
