I've been thinking (i know...it's dangerous) about the Tinker Gnomes
lately, more specifically about their curse.  The Tinker Gnomes were
created by the Graygem which was an artifact of the gods (Chaos, the
overgod to be exact) and the gem cursed them with insatiable curiosity
and the need to build inventions which never quite work, correct?  If
so, with the Gods of Krynn (and Chaos) gone, will the curse lift?
Will the Gnomes begin to become regular gnomes?  Or will they be
tinkers whose inventions actually work?
