Sprýg Gnomes

You play a Sprýg gnome. The 30 October 2026 dev diary puts their height at about 10 centimeters and calls them brave beyond their size. They live together as Revels, in dwellings that match the shapes and colors of the forest, and those homes show themselves with lanterns and music. In the game you belong to the Last Revel in Midgård, the group the Dark Forest found when there was nowhere else to go.

Where they came from

The store page says the last Sprýg gnomes in Midgård were driven out by Oden and his corruption. Midgård is the home they left. Trollheim, and the Dark Forest inside it, is the one place they have left to go. The job the game gives you is to reunite gnome companions and make that forest a home. Ancient runes in the diary depict the journey. They are flavor, not a collectible checklist with map pins.

A Revel is a household and a community, not a class you select. Classes and factions explains why there is no subclass screen. Everyone climbs, gathers and builds. The beginner guide is the first hour of being small on purpose.

How the size changes play

Ten centimeters turns a pine into a mountain and a boulder into a climb. The store page is built on that. Blueberries and twigs are worth walking to. A fallen log is a road. A treehouse is a neighborhood. Building lists the legal sites: treetops, hollowed logs, rock crevices and misty lakes. Moss and low light keep a house looking like a Revel home instead of a beacon. Music, once you can craft an instrument, matches the diary. Crafting puts instruments at the far end of the named craft range, after arrows.

An official screenshot labels a quest Climbing Spryg Gnome, objective Find the Gnome. Follow climbs like that. Whistle on Z when a companion is on another trunk. You cannot rebind that key in the playtest.

How they live with everyone else

Sprýg are among the smallest Väsen. The beings you meet most often are other small ones: faeries, smaller trolls, Lilvätt and other gnomes. A 3-meter Skóug Troll is a landmark, not a roommate you should expect on the first evening. Troll Queen Hilda is missing, and the diary suggests a Sprýg may have been the last to see her. That is the story thread, told on story.

Other Väsen can share a campfire or attack. In Early Access you are supposed to calm them or offer something. In the playtest, befriending is off and fights are exaggerated. A Sprýg does not win that by standing in the middle. Back to the shelter. Survival is the order of operations. Rotinn is the decay that can make a neighbor cruel. Tiny white mushrooms are the sign, not every mushroom in a screenshot.

Verdict: Play the size. Climb, hide the house in moss and low light, and gather the Revel before you chase a troll. The playtest ends before Birch Trees, so finish one home and a clean save rather than a grand migration.
