Relationships
Urdlen is the enemy of the gnomish and halfling pantheons. Roykyn was formally a priestess of his.
Realm
Urdlen's realm is the Worm Realm, located on the 399th layer of the Abyss. 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.
Clergy, temples, and rituals
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.
