}}The '''Secret League of the Orange-Bearded Gnomes''' was a mysterious organisation made up of red-bearded [[Gnome]]s. They were seemingly active primarily in the [[Prime Universe]] but capable of interdimensional travel, with the mysterious [[Gnome Place]] as their base. | |||

Although the Secret League's name resembled that of a [[Strangely-Colored Secret Society]], the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]]'s [[Cupid Fact File|Fact File]] on the Societies suggested that as far as the Cupids knew, the Gnomes had no connection to the other such Societies. The File stated that the Gnomes “[kept] popping up everywhere” and that they were “''utterly'' inexplicable. And ''weird''”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Strangely-Colored Secret Societies (short story)|The Strangely-Colored Secret Societies]]'') | The Secret League's membership comprised Gnomes of many different types, from [[Troll]]-like ones to animated plastic garden gnomes; indeed, over time, the Secret League began to accept the membership of other [[Little People]] such as [[Leprechaun]]s, [[Lutin]]s and [[Gnatling]]s, provided they were sufficiently gnome-like and agreed to bear red beards. When [[the Nome Kind]] of [[Land of Oz|Oz]], whose beard was white, joined the League, he dyed the tips of his beard red, which seemed to suffice.

([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Strangely-Colored Secret Societies (short story)|The Strangely-Colored Secret Societies]]'') All members of the Secret League, including ones who weren't technically Gnomes to start with but other kinds of [[Little People]], became imbued with the magical characteristics of Gnomes as a result of their membership; this meant that they had a deadly weakness to eggs, but couldn't be killed by any other means.

The Secret League also appeared to be among the groups who bid for the venom of the [[Wyrm of Loki]] when the [[Prime Universe]]'s [[Sigyn#In the Prime Universe|Sigyn]] decided to auction it off. Like the other bidders, the Gnome representative dissipated like smoke, sent back to his dimension, after [[Tero Trollgarsson]] rendered the auction moot by drinking all the venom, leading Sigyn to interrupt the spell she was using to summon them all.

At some point, the Secret League opened membership to other members of the [[Little People]] than strictly-defined Gnomes, such as [[Leprechaun]]s, [[Lutin]]s, and [[Gnatling]]s, with [[the Lurigadawne of Tipperary]], from [[Dimension 77]], notably joining. This proved controversial. Around this time, [[Jenny Everywhere#Adventures with the Cupids|Jenny Everywhere]] accidentally crashed a meeting of the League at the Gnome Place while looking for the Lurigadawne. The Nome King was suspicious of her, thinking she might be some kind of spy trying to find out the nature of the League's “secret plans”. She was followed by [[the Mad Marquess]], who engaged the Lurigadawne in combat while many of the Gnomes fled the conference room. The remainder were routed when Jenny started threatening to throw eggs at them, even collecting a royal chicken of [[Camelot]] especially bred by [[Merlin]] in order to threaten the Nome King with eggs powerful enough to be a match for him, which were sufficient to send him packing.
