Short story in the World of Warcraft Official Strategy Guide.

A tauren warrior, a shaman, Illiathu, and an undead mage fight their way to the gates of Gnomeregan while being attacked by leper gnomes. The warrior defends the shaman, Illiathu, while waiting for the blasted mage (undead scoundrel that he is) to show his power. The warrior doesn't kill any of the leper gnomes, only wounding them but they are able to get into the city to continue the fight.
