Garl's Faithful

Followers of Garl Glittergold.

Mythology & Lore

Garl Glittergold was said to have discovered the first gnomes while exploring a cavern before telling them a joke and leading them into the world. According to legend, Garl collapsed the cave-system hall of Kurtulmak, while the kobold was hosting Asmodeus. The circumstances of this were debated, but most gnomish legends said that Kurtulmak had ambushed and bound Garl, while Garl only pretended to be bound securely in order to play his prank. Nevertheless, after the collapse of the mines, Kurtulmak ascended to godhood with his hate for all gnomes still intact. Therefore, a rivalry exists to this day between kobold and gnomes.

Worship

On the 13th day of each month, the Forgotten Folk held the Communion of Laughter in his honor. It consisted of joke-telling contests, communal meals, dancing, prayers, and storytelling, and donations of gold, which Garl's Church used to the benefit of the entire community. Typical worshippers include Adventurers, Bards, Defending soldiers, Gemcutters, Gnomes, Illusionists, Jewelers, Miners, Rogues, and Smiths.
