			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.

In the [[splatbook]] Demihuman Deities, which covers the [[demihuman]] gods and goddesses of Faerun, it's explicitly stated that Nebelun is merely a Gnomish "interpretation" of Gond. How this is possible when Gond is a True Neutral solemn thinker and Nebelun is a Chaotic Good playful inventor is, of course, not explained.

And as 3e was the most successful edition of D&D, at least until 5th... Nebelun was basically lost to time.
