My WoW Journey

Icon of Technology

I have had this Crest made into a piece of Wow Jewellery but it was a Gift for a friend as I have no Gnome character. I will endeavour to find the original drawings and sketches and a picture of the completed Jewellery piece as I think it looks really good made up in solid Sterling Silver . Once I have them I will add to this post. Edit - (Picture of pendant now included)

The Gnomes’ city of Gnomeregan was built into Ironforge Mountain, but the invading troggs destroyed it and slaughtered its citizens. Many of the surviving Gnomes moved into Khaz Modan and now live with the Ironforge dwarves, others travelled with their Dwarven allies to Kalimdor.

The origin of the Gnomes is not totally clear, however, the quest The Mechagnomes hints that the Gnomes actually began life as a “species” of robots created in Ulduar by a Titan known as “The Grand Architect” and that the changeover from a mechanical robot to a flesh species was an expected part of the process and part of the overall plan when creating them. Gearmaster Mechazod has the power to turn the Gnomes back to their original robot form.

The Gnomes were of great help to the Alliance during the Second War, they built vehicles and gadgets for the Alliance including submarines and flying machines to help defeat the Horde.

Oddly however, the Gnomes declined to send any forces to the aid of the Alliance during the Burning Legion’s recent invasion during the Third War, although their designs did help to turn the tide against the Legion.

The Humans and the Ironforge and Wildhammer Dwarves were shocked and puzzled by Gnomeregans decision to withhold their stout-hearted troops and pilots.

The Crest of the Gnomes – Icon of Technology, displays engineering tools and bolts, this is to represent their skill with developing technology. The Gnomes are represented by the cogs in the Crest of the Alliance.
