He appears as a burly man with calloused hands, often covered in soot from his forge, carrying the tools of various trades. His symbol is a toothed cog wheel, and he's worshipped by artificers, inventors, blacksmiths, and engineers. Gond teaches that innovation drives progress, that well-made tools improve life, and that creativity should be applied to solve practical problems. He encourages experimentation and the sharing of knowledge to benefit everyone. Gond values function over form, though he appreciates elegant design that serves a purpose. His followers often establish workshops and guilds where they can collaborate on new inventions and improve existing techniques. He represents the marriage of magic and technology, encouraging artificers to push the boundaries of what's possible.
