I am Iylina Darkspindle. While a lot of gnomes develop interests in either the mechanical or magical sciences, seeing how servos or spells are put together, I was only ever interested in taking things apart. Enemies, specifically. I left home at a young age to join the Alliance’s army and I fought against trolls, dragons, and Old Gods. I even fought the Scourge… and died. And then, thanks to the Lich King, I got back up and kept fighting. These days, I serve as Gnomeregan Forever’s raid leader, coordinating our assaults on the greatest threats to Azeroth. Some may say that a few gnomes fighting against Old Gods and Titans means certain death.
For some reason such declarations no longer worry me.
