URDLEN

Intermediate Deity

Forgotten Realms

Urdlen (pronounced: URD-len), also known as the Crawler Below, was a chaotic evil gnome deity. It took the form of a white mole, blind, hairless, sexless, but with claws of steel. A mindless force of evil and destruction, Urdlen was the only evil gnome deity. It was allowed to remain part of that pantheon by its leader GARL GLITTERGOLD as a reminder to all gnomes of the dangers of greed and bloodlust.
Following: Worship of Urdlen was limited to either secretive cults or a lurking threat on the margins of society. Its clerics waged war on the clergy of other gnome deities, or spent their time stealing works of art and other objects of great value and destroying or defacing them.
