Gond (pronounced: GAHND or: GOND), known as Nebulen among gnomes and as as Zionil in the Shining Lands, was the Faerûnian god of craft, smithing, and inventiveness. The Lord of All Smiths pushed for innovation and imaginativeness, sometimes to a dangerous degree as a result of his short-sighted desire to create.
Along with Milil, Deneir, and Oghma, Gond was one of the Deities of Knowledge and Invention. He was on relatively good terms with Oghma, though sometimes their relationship could be tense, due to Gond's tendency to push new inventions being rapidly introduced across Faerûn without thinking of the consequences. His relationship with Milil was strained as they had little in common.
Beyond the Deities of Knowledge and Invention, Gond was known to have a friendly rivalry with Chauntea.
