  attacks.  Those clerics who wander or live in the 
  smaller communities tend to just be gnomes.  That 
  is they investigate whatever activates their 
  Gnomish curiosity, and stand up for what they 
  believe is right and good.  As of late, the 
  difficulties Between the Free Assembly of the 
  Kron Hills and the Viscounty have many clerics 
  on edge.  They believe they are doing what is best 
  for the Gnomes in the long run, but do not think 
  that they have the strength to fight off their 
  enemies alone.  A confusing time indeed. 
  Networking:  All of Garl’s temples capable of 
  training new priests in the area of Verbobonc are 
  in the Gnomish city of Kron.  There are smaller 
  churches in other communities to tend to Gnomish 
  needs elsewhere, but none are large enough to 
  train new clerics.  Prospective Gnomes are sent 
  from their homes to Kron for their  
  training and then return to home  
  upon completion.  Communication  
  between these outlying  
  churches and the Patriarch’s  
  Basilica in Kron is very good.  So  
  good in fact that many runners  
  between facilities use churches of  
  Garl as their staging areas to  
  pass military, diplomatic, or clerical  
  missives back and forth. 
   
   
  Garl Glittergold ~ The Watchful Protector, 
  NG  greater god of Gnomes, Protection, Humor, 
  Gems, & Smithing.  Domains:  Good, Protection, 
  & Trickery.  Weapons:  Battleaxe(m). 
   
   
  Garl Glittergold is depicted as an amber 
  skinned gnome with gemstones for eyes.  It is said 
  he goes about well dressed, usually with a flowing 
  cloak of silk and never without his Battleaxe .  Garl 
  and the other members of the Gnome pantheon get 
  along very well.  As the father of the Gnomish 
  people Garl takes pride in all of his children’s 
  accomplishments, but does not hesitate to delegate 
  authority to his fellow gods. Garl’s symbol is a 
  golden nugget on a field of black. 
   
  Garl’s clerics serve gnome communities 
  as educators and protectors.  They teach the young 
  valuable gnome lore and skills using a light-
  handed humor.  They also protect their fellow 
  gnomes, ever watchful of the forces of evil 
  humanoids that might threaten their community. 
   
   
  Clothing:  While serving in an official capacity, 
  clerics of Garl will wear black robes decorated 
  with gold dust.  In the proper light these robes 
  have the appearance of the evening stars on a 
  moonless night.  Over these robes, they will wear 
  their golden nugget  holy symbol and carry a 
  ceremonial, or in some cases, functional battleaxe.  
  While 
  not 
  performing 
  religious 
  or 
  official 
  ceremony the clerics are free to dress as they 
  please.  They must, of course, display their holy 
  symbol unless there is a high risk of theft. 
   
  Dogma:  “Gnomes first”  is a common saying 
  among 
  clerics 
  of 
  The 
  Watchful 
  Protector.  
  Although Gnomes are, in general, a friendly 
  people, the clerics of Garl keep Gnomish interests 
  close to their hearts at all times.  The clerics like to 
  foster a “work Hard, Play Hard” attitude among 
  the clans.  As long as the people are safe, the 
  mines are producing and the craftsmen working, 
  then the people can be happy. 
   
  Duties:  In the city of Kron, which is thought to be 
  the largest concentration of Gnomes in the 
  Flanaess Garl’s clerics have a supervisory role.  
  They mediate clan disputes, organize the other 
  churches in the Gnomish pantheon, and aid in the 
  planning  for the defense of the outlying Gnome 
  communities from humanoid and giant

  As depicted in the 
  Deities and Demigods 
  book from Wizards of 
  the Coast, Garl 
  Glittergold is a 12th 
  level Illusionist, 14th 
  level Cleric and a 16th 
  level Rogue.  With a 
  Divine Rank of 18 and 
  well over 900 hit 
  points, it goes to show 
  that even the smallest

  can pack quite a 
  wallop.
