The first sighting of the gnome, or I should say gnomes, came in 2008. When an Argentinian man named Jose Alvarez was in his backyard talking to friends, they began to hear weird noises such as that of somebody throwing rocks. They found this weird, because there was nobody else with them that could have been throwing the stones. They were all just kind of hanging out, round about one another. Nobody was really able to to even sneak off to trick them. They noticed the grass was moving, so Jose began recording the phenomenon and he has what is considered to be the first ever footage of a gnome.
Soon after, other locals began making reports of seeing the gnome as well. Since then, the town has been enraged with a fear of this gnome who goes around throwing rocks at people. Why anybody would be afraid of a gnome is far beyond me, but apparently there is some kind of superstitious belief these people have with gnomes and bad omens. I don't know. What I do know is that the investigation into the Gnome was one of the first Deedee went on with me as an employee.
This piece is pretty plain and simple. There are no grandiose tales of investigation. Pretty much what happened was we went down to Argentina, found the gnome that was "terrorizing" the village of General Guemes in the province of Salta, Argentina. We cleared up all the ambiguity of the situation, because we didn't even have to hunt the gnome out. It came to us, as it had been coming too the residents of the village. Turns out that these gnomes are not heinous fiends as supposed. They are knocker gnomes that come out of hiding to lead people to wealth and treasure. Since the people didn't seem to want to capitalize on their generosity, we did.
The gnomes led the way to secret stash of magical items. Each item was different but they all held the same wealth energy. Where the energy comes from, I can tell you I have no idea. I think that it is just a naturally occurring energy that was left on Earth at its creation. I'm not entirely sure. All I know is that the wealth power is very powerful, I would even call it an extreme wealth item. When you wear or hold one of these items, extreme wealth will be attracted to you in all forms, from all directions.
