The eccentric, often-brilliant Gnomes are
one of the most peculiar races of the world. With their obsession for
developing radical new technologies and constructing marvels of
mind-bending engineering, it's a wonder that any Gnomes have survived to
proliferate.
Thriving within the wondrous techno-city of Gnomeregan, the Gnomes shared
the resources of the forested Dun Morogh Peaks with their Dwarven cousins.
Though the dwarves of Ironforge also have a propensity for technology and
engineering - it is the gnomes who provide the critical, visionary designs
for most of the Dwarves' weapons and steam vehicles.
The Gnomes served the Alliance well during the Second War, but strangely,
they refused to send any personnel to aid their allies during the Burning
Legion's recent invasion. Though their designs helped turn the tide
against the Legion, the Dwarves and Humans were shocked by the Gnomes'
decision to withhold their courageous troops and pilots.
When the war ended, the Alliance discovered the reason for the Gnomes'
sudden withdrawal. Apparently, an ancient, barbaric menace had risen from
the bowels of the earth and invaded Gnomeregan. Knowing that their allies'
priority was defeating the Burning Legion, the Gnomes decided to make
their stand alone. Though they fought valiantly to save their beloved
city, Gnomeregan was irrevocably lost.
Nearly half of the Gnomish race was wiped out during the fall of
Gnomeregan. The ragged Gnomes that survived fled to the safety of the
Dwarves' stronghold of Ironforge. Committed once again to the Alliance's
cause, the Gnomes spend their time devising strategies and weapons that
will help them retake their ravaged city and build a brighter future for
their people. |
