Sprýg Gnomes — Last Revel and Lore

You play a Sprýg Gnome in TROLLHEIM: GNOMES—one of the tiniest Väsen in the Dark Forest. Official sources spell the name Sprýg (with ý). Searchers also type spryg gnomes without the accent; both refer to the same race on Steam app 4139890.

How big are Sprýg Gnomes?

The 2026-10-30 world-building dev diary describes Sprýg Gnomes as standing about 10 centimeters tall—brave beyond measure despite their size. The Steam capsule and short description consistently cast you as a tiny gnome exploring treetops and wilderness.

What is a Revel?

Sprýg Gnomes live together as Revels in homes that blend into organic shapes and earthy colors of the forest. Official text says they are only revealed by lit lanterns or music from their instruments—a stealthy, communal culture rather than a single player hut.

The dev diary states that in the game you are part of the Last Revel in Midgård, and when you had nowhere else to turn, you were found by the Dark Forest. That framing is narrative setup; the studio does not publish quest trees or map coordinates for Midgård in announcements.

Why did Sprýg Gnomes leave Midgård?

Two official channels agree on pressure from outside the forest, with different emphasis:

• The Steam store “About” text (2026-11-15) says the last Sprýg Gnomes in Midgård were driven from their home by Oden and his corruption, with Trollheim as the refuge where trolls, faeries, and sirens are real.
• The 2026-10-30 dev diary stresses the Last Revel finding the Dark Forest when there was nowhere else to turn, without repeating every name from the store paragraph.

For the wider cast and corruption arc, see Väsen overview and Rotinn and decay.

Who do Sprýg Gnomes meet first?

Because of their height, official copy says faeries, smaller trolls, lilvätt, and other gnomes are more common encounters—the first characters named for in-game meetings. Skóug Trolls at about 3 m are another headline species; see Skóug trolls. More Väsen are promised over time and more still in Early Access than in the tech playtest.

Can you befriend other Väsen as a Sprýg Gnome in the playtest?

Not in the November 2026 technical playtest. Steam announcements (2026-11-10 and 2026-11-12) state befriending Väsen is disabled until Early Access, and not every Väsen ships in the test build. Väsen may still fight each other unexpectedly. Compare scope on playtest vs Early Access.

New players should start with what TROLLHEIM: GNOMES is for platforms, co-op count, and release status.
