Relationships

There, Urdlen tunnels through the ground, completely unconcerned with his petitioners, who dig in the tunnels he leaves behind. The petitioners, mostly evil gnomes, have no society whatsoever; they simply pursue their own greed in the ore-rich earth.

Urdlen's priests wear white cloaks. Its sacred animal is the white mole. Its holy day is the winter solstice, and it is worshipped in underground caverns. Sacrifices of blood and jewels are made to it annually.
