| #1umcorianSep 09, 2009 12:15:18 | Hey gang, I was wondering if anyone know which God killed Urdlen (the Crawler Below in the Gnomish pantheon), or what his final fate became? An ancient cult of his old gnomish worshippers intent on ressurrecting him are on the short-list on some BBEGs I'm considering for a new 4e Forgotten Realms game. |
| #2quale1Sep 09, 2009 12:44:08 | He's still missing, considering what happened to Eldath and others, and that gnomes are fey now it's possible he'll show up as an unseelie power, archfey or a corrupted world spirit. Or he burrowed so far he ended up in Abeir. |

"Swallowed whole by the mighty primordial earthlord Grumbar, Urdlen is not dead but waiting for the clarion call of his faithful to awaken him. Scratch, crawl, burrow mighty one and find your way to the dark beneath where your children await." Not fact just a fun thought, Urdlens fate goes unrecorded at this time. He'd make a good primal spirit though. |

Merely contacting Urdlen to awaken him is a ritual that may fit a Heroic tier game. |
| #5Arawn76Sep 09, 2009 14:37:07 | Is your game just in the heroic level? |
| #6LordManshoonSep 09, 2009 14:39:47 | Urdlen has come to power in Returned Toril, combating the armies of Mulhorand and the church of Helm. Fact? Not yet... |
| #7umcorianSep 09, 2009 16:25:28 |
The starting level is 4, yeah. |
| #8Arawn76Sep 09, 2009 16:34:02 |
Then if you use an idea like mine for example I'd make the swallowed by grumbar a metaphor. Heroic is no tier to face off with gods / primordials. |
| #9umcorianSep 09, 2009 18:52:57 | Oh, they wouldn't actually face off with a god or a primordial. Just a cult of crazy followers trying to resummon him. |
| #10BadCatManSep 09, 2009 20:08:28 | It could have something to do with the events mentioned in the Class Chronicles series, here: |
