Flandal Steelskin

Flandal Steelskin was the gnomish god of mining and smithing, an excellent craftsman with an unerring nose for finding metals in the earth. He was physically strong, and no stranger to battle. He helped forge Arumdina, the intelligent battleaxe of Garl Glittergold, so Flandal often had the pantheon leaders' ear as needed. He was also concerned with the skills of gnomes working as artisans and craftsmen of all kinds.
Flandal would, rarely, send an avatar to instruct gnomes in some very tricky smithing process, or to guide them to untapped metal ores. He might also send an avatar to deal with any disputes between gnomes and fire-dwelling creatures. His omens were always fiery, involving sudden flares of fire in forge or hearth or in small jets of flame moving around on a bare floor or earth. Pyromancy was practiced by many of his priests.
