NOTABLE GNOMES<br />
High Tinker Mekkatorque - The gnomes have not had a proper king or queen for<br />
over four hundred years. Instead, they prefer to elect their highest officials for set<br />
terms of service. The highest office in Gnomeregan, High Tinker, has been held by<br />
the crafty Gelbin Mekkatorque for the past seven years. Gelbin is one of the most<br />
renowned inventors ever, and has been honored as a just and skillful leader.<br />
However, when the troggs began their invasion of Gnomeregan, Gelbin was<br />
unprepared to stop them. At the behest of his top advisor, Mekgineer<br />
Thermaplugg, he ordered that the city be bathed in toxic radiation. Though the<br />
radiation stopped the raiders’ advance, it ultimately killed more gnomes than<br />
troggs. Now the High Tinker carries the weight of the dead on his shoulders and<br />
seeks to avenge his people by reclaiming their lost city.<br />
Mekgineer Thermaplugg - Sicco Thermaplugg served as High Tinker<br />
Mekkatorque’s chief advisor for many years. A brooding but imaginative engineer,<br />
Thermaplugg secretly coveted the role of High Tinker. It is rumored that<br />
Thermaplugg actually knew of the trogg invasion before it began, and that he<br />
ushered in the events that befell the gnomish race. Though these reports were<br />
never verified, Mekkatorque believes they could be true. Mekgineer Thermaplugg<br />
disappeared shortly after the evacuation of the irradiated city. None can say<br />
whether or not he still lives within the toxic halls of Gnomeregan.
