told you it was a GoogledGnome just for you… thanks for enlightening me… and anyone else that feels the need for a little lore occasionally…

At least I know that there aren’t any paternity cases in the wind

Oh, and to add on that. One of the duties of the Council of Tirisfal was to appoint an individual with the title of “Guardian of Tirisfal.” Such a title was bestowed upon the individual, along with an immense power in sorcery. One such person who was given this title was none other than Medivh, the owner of the wonderful instance known as Karazhan.

Don’t thank blizzard for designing a really fun instance; thank the gnome who made the tower what it is today. The more you know!

Hrmm...let's take it to the very beginning. The Council of Tirisfal is a revered order of Mages comprised of members from the earliest incarnation of both the alliance nation of Dalaran and High Elven (before they became the Blood Elves) capital of Silvermoon. They were responsible for the protection of their people from the Burning Legion. One of their members is a gnome named Erbag, and is the earliest written record of a gnomish mage existing in Azeroth at the time. If you will, you could consider this individual to be the "father of gnomish mages." But I do like to think of myself as a lover of gnomish lore, so the unofficial title of "father of gnomish mages" would be pretty cool!
