 Forgotten Realms Wiki   

Deep gnomes, called svirfneblin (pronounced: /svɪrfˈnɛblɪn/ svirf-NEB-lin) in their own language, were a gnome subrace that lived in the Underdark. While their surface cousins were known for their boundless optimism and cheerful mischief, the svirfneblin were serious and suspicious creatures. They survived in the Underdark by maintaining wariness of others and working hard to keep their underground society secret.
