In many campaign settings for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Urdlen is the gnome deity of greed and blood.
In many campaign settings, the gnome pantheon of gods consists of the leader Garl Glittergold, as well as Baervan Wildwanderer, Baravar Cloakshadow, Flandal Steelskin, Gaerdal Ironhand, Nebelun, Segojan Earthcaller, and Urdlen.
Urdlen's realm is the Worm Realm, located on the 399th layer of the Abyss.
Urdlen's priests wear white cloaks. Its sacred animal is the white mole. Its holy day is the winter solstice, and it is worshipped in underground caverns. Sacrifices of blood and jewels are made to it annually.
