Gnome Era Timeline



= Introduction = The Gnome Era was the era that began as soon as the Gnomes had ruthlessly taken over Valve City, ruling it for hundreds of years under the name of Gnomistan. The Gnomes are a race of genetically modified humans (this also includes the Buff Gnomes and the Elfs) that had invaded and enslaved all of Valve City, quickly renaming the city to Gnomistan in 986 BC, thus beginning the Gnome Era. This Era is set in Gnomistan, as mentioned above, a clean and industrious city, that took an environmental approach to city design, unlike the approach used during the rule of the Valve corporation. While history books suggest that the Gnomes were enemies of the Valve corporation, I can tell you that this is simply not true. The Valve corporation had instructed the Gnomes to invade Valve City after an army of them were created in a lab in China 100 years prior by King Wen of Zhou. The Gnome Era also tells of when the Tasmaniacs had nuked Gnomistan in 666 BC, which is commonly known as the First Gnomistan Nuclear Holocaust, which weakened the city allowing the Tasmaniacs to force the Gnomistan Council to resign from their positions, including the mayor of Gnomistan, Cum. The Tasmaniacs had also renamed Gnomistan to New Launceston, a not so environmentally friendly city, similar to Valve City, before the Gnomes had came back to invade in 27 BC, overthrowing the Tasmaniacs and renaming the city back to Gnomistan.
