43 - Faerûnian Pantheon: Gond
Friday May 06, 2022
Friday May 06, 2022
This is the thirty-sixth episode in a series about the Faerûnian Pantheon. Gond is the god of artifice and craft. Gond and his faith look to make ideas concrete as they continually invent and modify. The Gondar clergy are continually trading ideas and travel abroad to further their craft.
After publishing this episode it became clear to me that all the members of the Gnomish pantheon (except Urdlen) should have been said to be allies of Gond. He is allied with them through the aspect of Nebelun and his inclusion in the Gnomish pantheon. Not only that, I mention how Flandal Steelskin and Gond have a portal between both their realms and are allied. Not a terrible oversight, but an oversight nonetheless.
