Gnomeregan Exiles

Gnomeregan Exiles is the faction of gnomes who were exiled from their home, Gnomeregan, in Dun Morogh. A member of the Alliance, many gnomes are located in the Tinker Town section of the neighboring city Ironforge. Wowpedia - 
With the ruling council of the gnomes reunited in Ironforge inside the Tinker Town-district, the gnomes debated on their next course of action. Some advocated retaking Gnomeregan immediately, but Gelbin Mekkatorque declined in favor of supporting the Alliance, and sent gnomes to Alliance battlegrounds all across Azeroth.
A few loyal gnomes still left in Gnomeregan fought desperately to keep the troggs at bay. Their ruler, thought by certain gnomes to have abandoned them, eventually sent a rescue force of adventurers on a recon mission.
Thermaplugg's treachery was only discovered after the evacuation when Thermaplugg apparently remained behind, and the details of his underhanded plans slowly became public. Thermaplugg locked himself away in the deepest reaches, taking in the irradiation along with much of the gnomish population. While Mekkatorque originally assumed his former friend had perished, voyages and observations of the city proved otherwise, as well as revealing the disturbing fate of some of the gnomes who were left behind. Those who survived mutated into horrific, mindless, evil-doing leper gnomes, including Sicco Thermaplugg himself. The disease warping their minds, which led to a now mutated and insane Thermaplugg taking over the leper gnomes, ruling them with an iron fist of madness.
