Editing Callarduran Smoothhands (section)

==Publication History==
Callarduran is one of the "third generation" [[gnome]] gods; unlike [[Baervan Wildwanderer]], [[Flandal Steelskin]], [[Segojan Earthcaller]] and [[Urdlen]], he didn't debut in the article "The Gnomish Point of View" in [[Dragon Magazine]] #61, which added followers to [[Garl Glittergold]], who had debuted in the ''Deities and Demigods Cyclopedia'' two years earlier. Instead, he made his debut in ''[[Monster Mythology]]'' for [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] - where he wasn't even labeled a [[demihuman]] deity, but was instead considered a deity of the [[Underdark]].

In this same edition, he was fleshed out greatly beyond the basic fluff that was presented for him in ''[[Monster Mythology]]'' in the [[Forgotten Realms]] [[splatbook]] ''Demihuman Deities''. This began a trend for him; in [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]], he was first fleshed out in the ''Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting'', and then expanded upon in ''Faiths & Pantheons'' for 3.5. Then, in [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]], he wasn't mentioned until the ''Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide''.

Only [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition]] broke the mold; here, he is only mentioned in the [[svirfneblin]] racial lore in the [[splatbook]] ''Into The Unknown: The Dungeon Survival Handbook''.
