Blog updated yet again. This time, just updated the deep gnome story with more evidence and explanations, etc. Also, put it at the end of the timeline since it fit better there in the timeline.
It's the best I could do with the limited clues we have to work with. Still up for debate: Was Decrepit Village the primary base camp for the gnomes, or was there another place out there on Ebonlake that was their primary base? There is evidence to support both potentials.
