Rumors and Legends
Legends spoke of the existence of several goddesses in the Gnomish pantheon, but their stories were long lost to history. There was a tradition among Gnomish youth to claim divine inspiration to go in search of the Ladies of the Golden Hills, rather than admit that adventure was calling them to leave their close-knit Gnomish families.
