Magic Minez

Under the tyranicle regime of the Goblin empire the gnomes are forced to toil all day in the magic mines. Fifty years of civil war between the Pink and Purple unicorns had left the gnome socialist paradise destroyed and ripe for conquest for the before mentioned Goblin empire.

Interesting side note, the magic they are mining are the same things that are ground up into magic dust that turns water into iced tea.
