I can't remember your name, but your fez is familiar

If we were to lists the artifacts of steampunk, we would probably start the list with goggles, and dirigibles would be high on it, and somewhere on that top tier might also be the fez. This Turkish cap, present throughout the 19th century, was a symbol of Ottoman modernity and became associated with Western orientalism, two currents that flow right into the river of steampunk.

So, if you give a gnome a fez - that's certainly gnomepunk.


Looks a bit ill-tempered, doesn't he? Maybe that's because he lost his goggles.

Fez the Gnomish Pirate is available from Armorcast Battlefield Scenery.
