Editing Nebelun (section)

==Nebelun the Goddess==
[[File:Giggling Inventor.jpg|thumb|right|300px|She's at least a little like this.]]
Amazingly, Nebelun actually returned in [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]] in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes. But there was a certain major change here... namely, Nebelun had gone from being a male god to a ''female'' goddess. In this, she was joined by [[Baervan Wildwanderer]], [[Baravar Cloakshadow]], and [[Gaerdal Ironhand]], who likewise jumped the gender barrier and became goddesses.

Now, precisely why this happened, nobody knows. Maybe somebody at WotC finally said "you know, it's kind of stupid that [[dwarves]] have [[Morndinsamman|more goddesses]] than [[gnome]]s do, isn't it?" Maybe somebody freaked WotC out with an epic-length smutfic about homosexual orgies amongst the gnomish gods. But whatever the cause, the gnomes now have a couple of goddesses, and Nebelun is one of them.

Sadly, there's not a lot actually said about Nebelun in this book; the entirety of her lore is repeated below:
::''Nebelun, also known as the Meddler, is fearless, perhaps foolishly so. Every invention of Nebelun's starts with a wild idea, nothing goes entirely according to plan, and her greatest exploits often spring from mistakes. Who else would stroll in and steal [[Semuanya|Semuanya's]] tail as the [[lizardfolk]] god splashed in his favorite pool? Who else would use [[Thor|Thor's]] hammer to pound a nail and thus be inspired to invent the lightning rod? Garl never needs to persuade Nebelun to join an excursion, but he and the rest of the pantheon do have to focus her attention on the task at hand, so that her madcap inventiveness doesn't derail the effort.''
::''All gnomes see Nebelun as the delightful spirit of invention and discovery, even those whose livelihoods have nothing to do with the construction of odd devices. Any accident that fortuitously results in a new discovery might be credited to Nebelun's benevolent meddling in the affairs of mortal gnomes.''

Although nothing is said about Nebelun's appearance in 5e, it would be logical to presume that, just as her original counterpart looked like the stereotypical crazy old mad scientist, this new female Nebelun is what [[weeaboo]]s would call a "Manic Pixie Dream Girl" - a cute tech-geek girl who is constantly bubbling with energy. Basically a female gnome [[artificer]] from the [[Warcraft]] world.
