Shortly after, these dwarves founded Khaz Modan. -2,500 This is the year in the Warcraft timeline that the original Ironforge dwarves "awakened" in Uldaman.Let's take a look at the history of the dwarves and the gnomes, taken from the unofficial timeline on Wowpedia. Though gnomes and dwarves have both been present on Azeroth for an extraordinary amount of time, the timelines set for interaction between the dwarves and the gnomes are a little wobbly in some places. Gnomes and dwarves are easily old enough to have seen everything from year 0 onward. The numbers aren't set in stone - no pun intended - but rather presented as a general guideline for players looking to root their characters a little more solidly in the lore. Keep in mind that as with all life spans suggested by the Warcraft RPG, there may be inconsistencies here and there. A dwarf of 188 years of age is considered old, 250 is considered venerable, and the maximum life span for a dwarf is around 252 to 450 years of age - again, a considerable amount of time to exist. Dwarves also reach maturity at age 40, but middle age sets in at about 125. ![]() The life span of a dwarf is a little shorter than a gnome, but not by much. And the maximum lifespan for a gnome is anywhere from 205 to 500 years of age - a considerable amount of time. A gnome who's 200 years of age is considered venerable. An old gnome is one who's reached about 150 or so. According to the Warcraft RPG, a gnome reaches maturity at around age 40 or so. The average gnome's life span is a bit lengthier than that of their human comrades but nowhere near the length of their night elf allies. While life spans guarantee that there isn't a member of this race who remembers the thousands of years between their original creation and today, recent events have uncovered the truth behind that history and given the gnomes and the dwarves a unique outlook into just where they've come from. Unlike their human allies, the dwarves and gnomes have been around just as long, if not longer, than their night elf allies. Even though most Azerothians don't really consider where their race may have originally come from, the dwarves and the gnomes know, unequivocally, where their races started - and the discovery was a shock for both races involved. However, unlike every other race on Azeroth, these two races share a unique history that was only recently discovered. Have questions about roleplaying, or roleplaying issues?
