Panli

Panli, draped in earthen robes that seem to be cut from the very stone of the underground itself, stands as a silent sentinel for the deep gnomes of the Shadowfell. His angular, conical headpiece and garment are reminiscent of the jagged, crystalline structures found within the subterranean landscapes he protects. His piercing eyes gleam like rare gems in the dim light, betraying a wisdom as ancient as the rocks that form the cavernous labyrinths he navigates.

Panli's essence is intertwined with the heart of the Shadowfell's subterranean realms. He is not just a deity to the deep gnomes; he is the embodiment of their connection to the underdark. As an expert navigator, his guidance is sought by those who delve into the darkest reaches of the world, where the light of the surface is a distant memory.

As god of the deep gnomes, Panli is revered not only for his navigational prowess but also for his ability to attune to the subtle energies of the underground. It is said that he can read the whispers of the stones and interpret the language of the earth, granting him foresight into the safest paths and richest veins of ore.

His followers often pay tribute through the meticulous crafting of stone and gem, creating intricate patterns and structures that serve both as offerings and as tools to harness Panli's protective energies. In the deep gnome communities, statues and icons of Panli stand at the entrances to mines and the thresholds of underground cities, a constant reminder of the god who watches over them, guiding their steps in the deep and dark places of the Shadowfell.
