God of the Gnomes?

[Above: Franz von Stuck , Pluto, 1909]

If one were to link the gnomes' existence to a deity (not necessarily advisable, but consider it a thought experiment) who would one pick? I've spoken of gnomes' relation to gnosticism before, so we could consider the Demiurge as something of a patron of gnomeic existence. Then there are woodland fellows like Pan or Sylvanus who one could link to gnomes through superficiality at the very least.

But what about our old friend Pluto? I think there is a case to be made.

Gnomes (in my own view) are spirits of the earth. They are drawn to the woods and the wilderness due to circumstances surrounding the very nature of their existence, but the earth goes deeper than lush green forests. It is the underground, the deep, dark places of the world as much as the green surface.

Gnomes are as much creatures of the shaded and hallowed depths as they are of the wild woods and flowered fields. And who is the lord of the underworld? Pluto, known to many as Hades.

There are many underworld gods across many mythologies, but I find the link between Gnomes and Pluto specifically to be a strong one.

Pluto, as mentioned, is lord of the Underworld. Most consider this to mean dominion over death and this is true, but it comes also with dominion over all that is beneath the Earth. The rock and stone, the metals and gems, the caverns and shadows and so on. All things which contribute to the earthen spirit of the gnomes, who are no strangers to spelunking or mining.

Pluto's wider family tie to the gnomes is strengthened by his marriage to Properpina/Persephone and her mother Ceres/Demeter, both of whom govern spheres of influences closely tied to gnomish traits, such as the green side of the earth, agriculture, the cultivation of nature and so on.

Finally, there is the personality link. An interesting one, to be sure, and one which many might initially disregard. Gnomes tend to be jolly little fellows, after all, whilst Pluto is famously dour and grim. Beneath these traits, however, lie a bedrock of commonality. This bedrock is the labours of the gnomes and of Pluto. Pluto is mindful of his tasks, diligent in his service to the dead, a constant and demanding duty. Gnomes, similarly, are highly industrious and do not shirk from responsibility. There is a strong joie de vivre within their nature but to phrase it simply, they work hard and they play hard. And as I have mentioned, at the very core of a gnome is respect, a trait which Pluto values most highly.

Thus, it is with Pluto that I associate gnomes.

Do the gnomes need a god? No. They're spirits in their own right, possibly tiny pieces of a whole which in and of itself might be a powerful, natural, worldly consciousness attempting to experience itself. Even if they did have a god, I think their idea of worship would be far from our own human ideas of religion.

But if we are interested in relations between supernatural entities and theories of the pan-paranormal, then considering links between various entities can prove fruitful.

As always, I welcome thoughts, opinions, questions and corrections. We learn together or we don't learn.

Jik - Cleric of Sylvanus

This is a character of mine for a D&D game that got cut short after only about 6 sessions. I loved playing this fella.

He's a Chaotic Evil Changeling, working to bring destruction to civilization so that Nature can properly flourish. He, of course, thought of himself as Chaotic Good, bringing giving Nature the justice it deserves against 'civilization'.

Man the sindorei lore always gets me, for some reason I was eligible to do the Sindorei heritage armor quest, despite already having done it and acquiring the armor some time ago.

But I'm doing it again because I'm a sucker for lore, but I'm doing on my dark ranger au of Mavryne and oh boy it just hits different.

To piggy back off my last post, Im now sharing my WIP of Mavryne on the blood elf side, in which he is a farstrider ranger, in admiration of the Ranger general Sylvanus and Lor’themar.

Then of course because I can’t help myself he becomes a Dark Ranger, even more loyal to the Dark Lady.

I’ve even began figuring out the details to the events of Shadowlands and how he would’ve reconciled all that happened. And what would he do after.

Still a very much WIP, but as I’m not going anywhere and neither is he, I’m sharing this as it evolves.
