Flandal wears only a leather apron for armor and protection from fire,
but the apron has been enchanted to reduce by half all damage he receives
from heat and fire. His skin is the color of mithril steel, and his
eyes are flaming coals. Flandal’s hair and beard are a brilliant bluesilver.
Flandal is one of the strongest of gnomish deities, perhaps the most
so. He is often found traveling with one or two of the other gnomish
deities in search of new ores and veins of metal to use in his forges.
It
was Flandal who helped forge and enchant Arumdina, Gar1 Glittergold’s
battle axe. As for himself, Flandal wields an axe-backed
hammer made of yellow metal, named Rhondang. It is + 5 to hit and
can shoot a six-dice fireball as frequently as once per round, up to
a
total of ten times per day. Rhondang is able to converse naturally
with
all beings who use fire or dwell in fiery locations (red dragons, chimerae,
fire elementals, etc.). This in no way means that Flandal is
friendly toward those beings, however, though he will be prone to talk
first before attacking. Rhondang does double damage to cold-using
or cold-dwelling creatures.
Because he needs their services to help forge items, Flandal is likely
(65% chance) to have 1-4 fire elementals (16 HD each) with him when
he is encountered. The elementals are quite friendly toward him and
obey him in all respects. When Flandal is not traveling, he will be
found in his workshop on the Twin Paradises, planning or making a
new magical weapon.

Flandal is obviously a popular god among the gnomish smiths; a large
number of fighter/clerics follow his worship in some areas. It is said
that some of his clerics have developed or been granted a new spell
that enables their war hammers to burst into flame for a short time,
giving additional bonuses to hit and damage, just as does a flame
tongue long sword.
