@TheEdVerse I do hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Your wisdom is appreciated. Do you have any information on a knightly order of gnome paladins of Garl Glittergold? Any of its leaders/members around Waterdeep for the “dragon heist”? Please and thank you for your time.

Hi. My Christmas was quiet but very pleasant. And I got a LOT of writing and game design done. :}
There IS a (very small, because it’s never been very large and it takes a lot of casualties) knightly order of gnome… 2/6) …paladins of Garl Glittergold, called the Golden Watchful (“Goldshields,” colloquially, or “Goldguts,” disparagingly).

I’ve found a few pages of my old, old faint 1970s lore notes of the Company of Crazed Venturers, and an elderly spitfire of a female gnome paladin of the Golden Watchful is recorded therein as living in North Ward… and drinking at A Maiden’s Tears (tavern). Her name is Belarra “Hardknee” Hartulneeth. She’d make a good den mother and tutor of young paladins.
Hope this is of help.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) January 6, 2019
