The gnome is I reference to Blont. In his backstory he stated that he too was in the dungeons. So I edited the first post to include Blont but since Kate doesn't know his name he is just the gnome for now.

The Rebellion is a tricky thing. They have been around for almost as long as the King has been in power but it hasn't been until recently that they've become organized and an actual threat. The only thing the Rebellion is missing to be successful are leaders. Knowingly or unknowingly, willingly or not your characters will eventually become the face of the Rebellion. The actions you all take in the RP will determine the success of the Rebellion. It is very possible that you could all fail but we'll have to wait and see. 

So in short, the rebellion is in full swing.

Did that help clarify?[@Dusksong]
