Baravar Cloakshadow is the Gnome God of Deception and Illusion in Dungeons & Dragons. As his common monikers of The Sly One, Master of Illusion, and Lord in Disguise make clear, he is the patron of gnomish illusionists and rogues of all stripes. However, he's also something of a gnomish war-god, albeit through weaponized illusion magic and stealth rather than the stereotypical "shining armor and clashing steel". This, and his particular loathing of goblinoids, shines through in the last of his common titles; Bane of Goblinkin.
Publication History
Baravar first debuted in Monster Mythology for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. This marks him as a "third generation" gnome god, as he was part of the third batch of gnome deities to debut in D&D's history.
