I'm not entirely up on all the lore, but given that the arcanists seem to act almost as customs officials, the carbuncles should be seen pretty regularly. Plus they are adorable and that goes a long way.
I agree with FreelanceWizard, if you can make a backstory that sounds reasonable, go for it!
As for the WoW comparison, it's a pretty natural comparison to make
