Flandal Steelskin

Flandal Steelskin is the gnomish god of mining and smithing, an excellent craftsman with an unerring nose (of great size!) for finding metals in the earth. He is physically strong, and no stranger to battle. He helped forge Arumdina, and so often has the ear of Garl. He is also concerned with the skills of gnomes working as artisans and crafstmen of all kinds. Flandal will, rarely, send an avatar to instruct gnomes in some very tricky smithing process, or to guide them to untapped metal ores. He may also send an avatar to deal with any disputes between gnomes and fire-dwelling creatures. His omens are 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 is practiced by many of his priests.
