Gnome ball

The term 'Gnome Ball' was coined by Ignar in response to the gnome researcher Hazgin throwing a ball at him during a meeting. Hazgin said, 'I was wondering if dwarves were good catchers.' Ignar responded, 'I've got a new experiment, let's see if gnomes ball is good idea.' He never actually bounced Hazgin, who fell out a window and bounced a little. Karyrth, who was there at the time, told his friend Nockle who decided to test it. He bounced her through old town. Gnomes bounce! And gnome ball was born.
One theory is Hazgin has rubber bones for he bounces a lot. During the disaster in Moonglade, he bounced off a tree hard enough to give him memory loss.
