Gaerdal Ironhand

Gaerdal Ironhand, was a lawful good deity of the gnome pantheon, led by the greater deity Garl Glittergold. The sternest and most serious of gnome deities, Gaerdal was the patron of warriors and protectors of gnomish communities. As such, he was honored in some manner by nearly all good-aligned gnomes, and one or two crusaders would be found in most sizable settlements. His symbol was an iron band, usually worn on the upper left arm, and his preferred weapon was the warhammer Hammersong. He resided in the Golden Hills, inside Dothion, which was found in Bytopia (also known as the Twin Paradises)
