Gond, The Crafter

The Crafter

Gond is a temperate deity who serves as the patron god of crafters and artisans throughout the land. They are said to inspire ingenuity and watch over the process of invention and creation. Originally a god dominant in the dwarven pantheon, Gond was adopted into wider worship with the rise of the now more prevalent Haerasian one.

Final Products

Temples to Gond attract those looking for tutelage in their craft. Higher ranking priests within the temples are often considered masters, if not grandmasters, of their chosen specialty. Any piece of equipment, gear, or art that was created by hand is a suitable offer to Gond, regardless of the quality of the final product, as it is the act of crafting that they revel in.
