<div>The term '''Gnomes''' was briefly used in [[J.R.R. Tolkien|J.R.R. Tolkien's]]'s early work ''[[The Book of Lost Tales]]'' to describe the race of [[Elves]] that would become the '''[[Noldor]]'''. He dropped the term in his published works, since he found the Gnomes of folklore to be so unlike his [[High Elves]] as to confuse his readers. "Gnomes" at one time also referred to the [[Valar]].<br />
