Garl Glittergold, also known as The Watchful Protector, is a Lawful good Greater deity. He is said to have discovered the first gnomes while exploring a cavern before telling them a joke and leading them into the world. Garl leads the Gnomish pantheon as the deity of luck, protection and trickery.

FollowersEdit

Garl is the most popular of the gnomish deities, and honored, in one way or another, by nearly all gnomes. His clerics, known as Glitterbrights, wear war helms and gold belts. On the 13th day of each month, the Forgotten Folk hold the Communion of Laughter in his honour. It consists of joke telling contests, communal meals, dancing, prayers, and storytelling, and donations of Gold, which Garl's Church uses to the benefit of the entire community.

RelationshipsEdit

Aside from the other non-evil members of the Gnome Pantheon, Garl is allied with Yondalla, Corellon Larethian and Moradin. His main companion is his intelligent battleaxe, Arumdina the Justifier.

Garl's tendency to jest with the various deities worshipped by the creatures and monsters of the Underdark have has resulted in him garnering many enemies, but chief among them is the kobold god, Kurtulmak.

HistoryEdit

According to legend, Garl collapsed the cave-system hall of Kurtulmak, while the kobold was hosting Asmodeus. The circumstances of this are debated, but most gnomish legends say that Kurtulmak had ambushed and bound Garl, while Garl only pretended to be bound securely in order to play his prank. Nevertheless, after the collapse of the mines, Kurtulmak asended to godhood with his hate for all gnomes still intact.
