Alamar Grimm

While most gnomes in Coldridge Valley channel their energies into recovery and tinkering, Alamar Grimm harbors a deep resentment over the fall of Gnomeregan. He holds a cynical view of standard adventurers and even the host dwarves of Ironforge, grumbling that their allies care more about diplomacy with humans than reclaiming the fallen techno-city. Operating from Anvilmar, he seeks kindred spirits who understand that ruthless power may be what his people truly need.

To young gnomes walking the path of fel magic, Grimm serves as an initial guide. When presented with a tainted memorandum, he offers a rare warm reception and begins tutoring recruits in fundamental spells. Before granting a novice the dangerous knowledge required to bind a demonic imp, however, he demands proof of their magical and physical endurance by sending them to retrieve the strange feather charms carried by local Frostmane troll novices.
