The [[Alliance]] has somehow managed to field a squadron of recon vehicles over the [[Valley of Fallen Heroes]] and [[Icecrown Glacier]], the broad areas west of [[Aldur'thar: The Desolation Gate|Aldur'thar]].
 
   
They cannot be permitted to take the lead in this fight. [[Chief Engineer Copperclaw]] has supplied me with the perfect weapon to deal with this threat—he calls his new missile the SGM-3. I have his assurances that it will take out the Alliance flying machines in a single hit. Go and use this weapon to give us the upper hand.

Gnomes were created by the creators - the Titans - as precisely calibrated immortal machines. Literally, they used to be robots, like the Terminator, and then evolved into flesh and blood.

== Notes ==
 
The fighters fly over the [[Valley of Fallen Heroes]], northwest of Ymirheim, west of Aldur'thar, east of the rampart. This is a simple point and shoot quest, and they do not attack. The [[SGM-3]] does not need to be equipped to be fired.

A Gnome + Noggenfogger Elixir creates the smallest possible model you can get in the game. What are the benefits? You can easily stealth and disappear into a crowd. Even lone players often won't notice if a tiny stealthed body appears on their screen...especially if you stay hidden by other means. Gnomes, even without Noggenfogger, can be fully concealed in bushes, mounts, or even other players. Gnomes can fit through tight spaces barred to any other race - including Goblins. The Gnomish player model's polygons make wall-climbing easier than with other races. Gnomes can boldly go where no one else is capable. Very Roguish.
As the fighters fly quickly enough to be hard to target, the following macro is useful in completing the quest:
 
   
#show SGM-3
 
/target skybreaker
 
/use SGM-3

Clearly, Go Gnome, or go home!

The Gnome Rogue Kick animation is a back-flip. That alone is enough evidence of their superiority, but...


What other race has an exclusive secret service unit? As the smallest and smartest race, Gnomes are built for pinpoint accuracy, infiltration, and espionage, to be assassins and scouts - to be Rogues. Additionally, Gnomeregan Covert Ops will provide every Roguely member with a Death Star, in preparation for inevitable world domination by Gnome Rogues.


Gnomes were created by the creators - the Titans - as precisely calibrated immortal machines. Literally, they used to be robots, like the Terminator, and then evolved into flesh and blood. Gnomes were molded from omnipotence. Druids worship them.* Gnomish spies and technology won the Second War; they are like James Bond and Batman combined. Gnomes invented mailboxes, and science itself. Tauren Rogues, widely regarded as the best Rogues, only exist because of Gnome Rogues with the Orb of Deception.


A Gnome + Noggenfogger Elixir creates the smallest possible model you can get in the game. What are the benefits? You can easily stealth and disappear into a crowd. Even lone players often won't notice if a tiny stealthed body appears on their screen...especially if you stay hidden by other means. Gnomes, even without Noggenfogger, can be fully concealed in bushes, mounts, or even other players. Gnomes can fit through tight spaces barred to any other race - including Goblins. The Gnomish player model's polygons make wall-climbing easier than with other races. Gnomes can boldly go where no one else is capable. Very Roguish.


Clearly, Go Gnome, or go home!
