Unlike many other pantheons, gnomish deities are rarely concerned with
flashy, heroic crusades against evil They generally prefer to care for
their flock through accomplishments which are less showy, but ultimately
more practical. Most gnomish gods would hold that a successful harvest
would benefit a gnomish community more than a holy war against neighboring
goblins, and thus rarely concentrate their efforts on warfare. Gnomish
deities are clever, sensible, and helpful. They focus on the primary aspects
of gnomish society: nature, crafts, hard work, and good humor. Compared
to many other deities, the gnomish pantheon is much more accessible to
the average follower, and most deities recieve their worship in the home,
rather than in impressive places of worship. The nominal head of the gnomish
pantheon is Garl Glittergold, although there is little in the way of a
rigorous heiracrhy. There are numerous other deities and demi-gods in the
gnomish pantheon, and some of the more commonly worshipped are listed below.
