The Gnome Guild

The Gnome Guild, commonly referred to as "The Gnome Mafia", is an organisation based in the gnome slums of Soliana. Even though no one knows when the guild was founded it probably was around 235 TE as a response to the oppresion of gnomes in Soliana. The current leader of the guild is Gyral son of Yek and the guild is still working for gnome rights through acts of terrorism.
== History ==
=== Founding and early days ~235 TE - 247 ===
The Gnome Guild was founded by an unkown group of gnomes living in the gnome slums. The objective with the guild was to unify gnomes and work against the gnome oppresion. Little is known about this period of the guilld but it is assumed that the first acts of the guild was to establish various illegal buissneses to bring wealth to the poor gnome slums. Gnome on gnome crimes were a common practice during this period which halted their growth.
=== Era of Yek son of Yek ~247 - 252 ===
Yek son of Yek was the most influential gnome to the gnome guild. Yek son of Yek never admited connection to the guild therefor this part of the guilds history will be written from what is said in Hadon Dardellan-Lochatlan's book: "The Takedown of the Gnome Mafia". It was estimated by persucutor Hadon that Yek assumed leadership in 247 TE, according to Hadon he founded tthe guild but it has later been proven that the organisation is older than previously thought. Yek son of Yek had strong beliefs about gnome rights and was a family man. He married his childhood love and entered the gnome guild, where he quickly became leader, to give his family a good and wealthy life. 
Yek started various illegal buissnes among unregistered real estate. He built houses against the city plan in what is today known as "Gnome Valley" outside the gnome slums. Gnomes were not allowed to live in regular housing outside the slums but Yek defied these laws and moved gnomes out of the slums into these newbuilt houses. This quickly brought attention to Yek and at the time as word had spread about the gnome guild Hadon and the other elves in leadership quickly draw connections between Yek and the organisation. The Yirsidan Yizawan Eliyawin-Nuwan of Anglunia was suspected to have links to the guild, he had a clear goal to create instabillity in Soliana as they were currently rebelling. 
Frequent raids of the gnome valley and slums were issued by Onsyr Serys Yinower-Blizun and in one of these raids secret tunnels between the slum appartments were found, in Yek's appartment a book of Heresy was confiscated. Due to Yek's good leadership of the gnome guild and the increased elf on gnome violence the gnomne guild grew and gnome on gnome violence was almost completly wiped out. With theevidence collected during one of the raids persucutor Hadon decided to make a case to present in the court of solon. 
===== Solonsburgh Trials of 249 TE =====
In 249 TE the infamous Solonsburgh Trials started. Yek was brought infron of judge Serys and the Jury for three different charges. He was suspected of Disrespect and disobedience towards solianen officials. This was a result of the illegal building he had done without permission. He was also suspected of Espionage and invasion of privacy. This was related to the tunnels found in the slums. The third suspicion was of Heresy. This because of the book of heresy found in his appartment which also was signed by him. At the court hearing he denied alll accusations. The trial attracted attention from all over the nation of Anglunia. Yek got an Yirsi lawyer from Isaz to defend his case, this was later revealed to be Yizawan's brother Yinsaghal Eliyawin-Nuwan. Serys acted judge and the jury consisted of three elves and a single gnome. Due to Yinsaghal's lawyer experience the trial looked like it was going in his favour but Yek continously comitted heresy during the trial which made it hard for Yinsaghal to defend him. Hadon admitted in his book that he briebed the jury with 500 denars each. This made all the jury members vote against Yek and he was charged guilty on all charges by judge Serys. The heresy charge gave him the death penalty. Prepared of this the gnome guild commited a terrorist attack blowing up the entire courtroom and injured most of the attendees. This was the first show of violence the guild would commit and far from the last. 
===== End of the Yek Era =====
After the Solonsburgh trial bombings Yek fled and never reapeared. This left the gnome guild in a state of weakness and a downfall. The increased presense of elven soldiers in the slums almost completly killed of the guild and the gnomes were more oppresed than ever.
=== The oppresed days ~252 - 295 ===
During the era of oppresion that followed Yek's disapearence little happend with the guild. In the later stages of this era Gyral son of Yek, Yek son of Yek's son, entered the guild. He was very engaged in gnome rights and seeked revenge for what the Solianen nobles had done to his father and all the other gnomes. The leader of teh guild at this time is unkown but around the year 295 TE he handed over leadership of the guild to Gyral.
=== Era of Gyral son of Yek ~295 - Present ===
Gyral son of Yek assumed leadership around 295 TE. He was very driven and belived in the terrorist ideals of his father. Gyral started a collaboration between the gnome guild and the terrorist organisation sons of Jugrar. The sons of Jugrar was actively fighting the solianen nobility which was a common goal of the direction Gyral wanted to take the guild. In 302 TE Hadon was assinated by the sons of Jugrar with the help of the gnome guild. This was a huge win for Gyral as Hadon was his sworn enemy. During the funeral of Hadon the same year the sons of Jugrar and the gnome guild made a violent terrorist attack resulting in them capturing the keep and several hostages. In 303 TE the Anglunian army was summoned to siege the keep which they did succesfully. After this Gyral made his leadership of the gnome guild public and he officialy started the gnome guerilla opperation where the gnome guild carried out guerilla attacks against solianen nobels in support of Jugrar.
