A mature or adult gnome is expected to have literally made a name for him- or herself (see Names) as a part of his or her maturation. Some follow the Light or subscribe to some of the spiritual beliefs of the dwarves, but as a whole the gnomish people are neither spiritual nor religious.įamily is seen by the gnomes in a way that could be considered baseline for the races of Azeroth. Gnomes do not have a particular bent towards any religion, nor do they have a particular racial religion. Although centuries ago the gnomes had kings, in modern times the position of rulership is that of the elected High Tinker. Gnomish society is largely unstructured and informal. A character who was present for the fall of Gnomeregan need not be significantly aged. At the present time of lore, this exodus dates ten (10) to twelve (12) years ago at maximum. Gnomeregan's loss is not what would be called ancient history.Again, this backstory is extremely ill-advised and players should avoid it. This is a common character background, but makes the character more historically important and powerful than is acceptable for a roleplay and modifies lore in an unfavorable manner. Players are advised not to create characters who are said to have destroyed Gnomeregan themselves, single-handedly or otherwise.Here, they are constantly plotting to retake Gnomeregan. These survivors now live with the dwarves in Tinker Town, a section of the district of Ironforge. Gnomeregan was rendered uninhabitable, and the surviving gnomes fled. This toxic attack did not stop the troggs and only served to kill numerous gnomes. The last and most desperate strike against the troggs was the release of the city's radioactive waste as commanded by High Tinker Gelbin Mekkatorque. Knowing that their allies were held in their own war with the Scourge, they did not request aid, but valiantly made their last stand alone in a desperate last attempt that some have called an unwise decision. Gnomeregan was under attack by trogg forces. However, they were unable to send aid during the Third War due to their own troubles. The technological advancement of the gnomes and the aid of their troops were major forces in the Second War, and were decisive in securing victory. The gnomes accepted and built their own city, Gnomeregan, in the mountains of Dun Morogh. Gnomes were “discovered” by the dwarves, who invited them to live in Dun Morogh with them. The origins of the gnome people are unknown.
