Gnomeregan

Gnomeregan was the capital city of the gnome race until a trogg invasion led to its tragic downfall. In a desperate attempt to kill the troggs, their ruler, High Tinker Gelbin Mekkatorque, on the advice of his advisor Sicco Thermaplugg, ordered the gnomes to open the pressure valves of their giant, grinding machines and released toxic radiation throughout the city. Though the radiation killed some of the troggs, it empowered others. Meanwhile, the radiation killed the gnome people just as quickly. Nearly eighty percent of the gnomish race died within days, while others were transformed into horrific, mindless, evil-doing leper gnomes. Wowpedia -
