It's time to liberate Undermine, champ! Are you with us?

Our spoiler-free lore guide to the latest raid, the Liberation of Undermine, is out! Learn all about the goblin revolution and the different bosses you'll encounter in the depths of the Gallagio.

What's worse than being chased down by a 7ft worgen woman? When she's also your ex and hasn't realised it's you yet.

Seems like we’re getting a “It’s done when it’s done (tm)”, rather than the usual “Soon(tm)”.

Either way we’re excited! Hope to see you all there! 🥳

Winners have been pulled and DM'd! Thank you to all who entered 💚

An excerpt from the Lands of Mystery RPG. (The author of this post would like you to know that the RPG is not technically canon). It reads: Undermine is the center of goblin civilization. It is located beneath and within Kezan, and is connected to the island via a series of volcanic tunnels. The main centers of Undermine are in volcanic caverns beneath Kezan. Secondary island caverns exist farther away, and the goblins have constructed tunnels of thick glass that lead to these smaller areas. Passing through these tubes means walking along the ocean's floor and looking out to see the colorful fish and hungry sharks nearby. Weird.

Drill operator gossip dialogue in Undermine. It says: If you're waitin' for this drill, you're outta luck. Apparently they had flamingos nestin' in the fuel intake over at the other station. Gonna take forever to clean out. An option to ask, "Where does this drill connect to?" is at the bottom.

Drill operator gossip dialogue in Undermine, responding to a question about where one of the drills goes to. It says: Another side of Undermine. But you're in downtown right now. This is where all the good grub is anyway.

An excerpt from The Blank Scroll short story. It makes reference to "Pyrix", one of Undermine's sluicetowns.

Fun fact: Undermine is actually bigger than what we see in-game!

One of the drill operators says the part we're in is just "downtown" and the RPG even mentions a whole network of tunnels that connect the city's different centers beneath Kezan/nearby islands.

A screenshot of Gallywix as seen in Tazavesh. He's standing in front of a plush couch, a broker to his right.

Another screenshot of Gallywix in Tazavesh, but this one from behind to show the three broker negotiators on the couch opposite the former Trade Prince.

The last time we saw Gallywix before Undermine(d) was in Tazavesh, where he appeared to be making a deal with the brokers of Cartel Xy 🤔

Do you think we'll see the payoff of that deal in Undermine(d)? Possibly at the end of the raid?

March is the time when we come out of our chrysalis and unleash bloody mayhem in Undermine in ✨style✨

This is by no means a comprehensive list (there's actually probably three times as many goblins in Undermine that we've already seen elsewhere on Azeroth), just some of the NPCs we see around the cartel headquarters.

A screenshot of a goblin named Enric Torque in Undermine.

An excerpt from the Lands of Mystery RPG about Enric Torque. It says: Captain of the Shattered Dagger, Enric is a goblin who is relatively new to the Blackwater Raiders, but has become a respected and feared member. He has an uncanny ability to judge weather and sea conditions, and once challenged one of the other captains in the Blackwater Raiders to a race. He did so on a day he could taste a storm on the air; the other captain got well ahead, pleased with his progress, until his ship was struck by lightning and sank, burning. Some of the Blackwater Raiders believes he commands the weather to do his will. Small even for a goblin, Enric attacks the knees and tendons of his opponents, preferring to cripple them before dissecting them.

Honorable mentions for this guy, who made it all the way out of the RPG! (Though I think he also gets a mention in the Traveler novels).

Also technically left out Hobart Grapplehammer who shows up *many times* between the goblin starting zone and heritage questline.

A chart that shows some goblin NPCs in Undermine side by side with other places they've popped up in World of Warcraft. From the top left going clockwise: Sassy Hardwrench, who pops up in the goblin starting zone. Pozzik, who appears in Shimmering Flats in both vanilla and Cataclysm. Crank Greasefuse from the goblin heritage questline. Noggle Ficklespragg and, below that, his cousin Beetix Ficklespragg, both of whom can be found in Silithus. Then Mother Goldskimmer and Ace from the goblin starting zone. Crazz and Fin Fizracket, pirates from Booty Bay. And lastly, Izzy, who's also in the goblin starting zone.

Here's just a few familiar goblin faces you might stumble across in Undermine and where you've seen them before 🚀

You're fine, happens to the best of us! 😉

Valentine’s Day has always been a fun subject for Gnomebruary themes. 2022’s entry featuring Saffy and Grizek renewing their vows in Mechagon is definitely one of our favorite results. How has your gnome’s love life been?

For Gnomebruary 2020 (f-i-v-e years ago 😳), I started to make real use of the comic format. Here's a little lookback at some of the entries!

Couldn't grow the mustache, sadly 😐
