I finished the first dungeon in the Nether Mountains at the start of moon wood. I now need to finish the Gnome underground village and Xammux Town, talking should work with the non-player characters and Xammux lies next to the first dungeon in Moon Wood (the starting level.)

You can leave the gnome underground by pressing up when you're on the right of the village.
