Reflections From The Pond

It is about time the gnome community is given due recognition! To facilitate this, the Gnome Rights Party – represented here by the guild Single Abstract Gnoun – gathered up for a Gnome Pride march to Ironforge to present King Magni Bronzebeard with a Gnome Rights Charter!

To proceed through the wintry landscape of Dun Morogh with dignity we practised forming an orderly line,

but as orderly lines were not in the charter we soon abandoned that line of though, thus we could proceed any which way we wanted.

Ironforge is huge and there are muchos interesting things to see, to examine, to avoid falling into,

to be aghast at (stepladders to be provided free of charge is a demand in the charter).

Other areas if research included how many gnomes can fit into the skeleton jaws of an old beast.

But fear not, these interesting old fossils did not deter the Gnome Pride Party from accomplishing our mission! We had an audience with the king,

and although he did not say either aye nor neigh to our demands, he accepted the Scroll of Gnomes Rights Charter (sorta) gracefully and we went on about our other businesses!

Like, what to do when you hit the Big City? Take a refreshing dip in a public ablutionary facility of course!

And when we were all clean and fresh again, what was the question everyone asked? Well. where’s the booze, of course!

And luckily the nearest boozer was not very far away!

After downing a few refreshing beverages of your choice it was time for us to go our separate ways once again, but before that we were gonna show the world gnomes are not to be taken lightly anymore by demonstrating on the steps of the IF bank!

Sadly, a lot of the world seem to think gnome punting still is acceptable behaviour, and that parking your big fat elekk on top of us was a hilarious move.

But us gnomes are small resourceful to say the least, and cunningly we snuck into the bank where the big beasts could not follow!

Turns out the big people still can find ways to be rude and try to obstruct the gnomes’ fight for equal heights rights and lower doorknobs, though, like popping a fire elemental in the midst of our formation…

Anyway, the Gnomes Right Party will undoubtedly prevail and soon we will have our own beloved city back again!
