<blockquote><I>In the late 19th century Germany, a small faction of gnome rebels formed a revolution against their oppressive gnome dictatorship in order to free themselves from horrendous and life-threatening conditions of forced labor in mines.

After years of civil war and a near-extinction of their race, the triumphant faction lived the rest of their lives in peace and simplicity, tending gardens and going about their business in yards of humans throughout the world. Their bravery will not be forgotten. </I></blockquote>
