Callarduran Smoothhands remains allied with the rest of the gnome pantheon (with the exception of Urdlen), and has also forged alliances with other deities of the Underdark who share a common interest in working together, such as Psilofyr (the patron of myconids). His primary enemies are the drow deities, especially Lolth.
