 he 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.
