2. House of Gond Just beyond the walls of the fabled Battle Court lies the great wooden temple known as the House of Gond, the God of Craftsfolk and Inventiveness. Visitors often come to Essembra to see one of Gond's rare temples but are often disappointed; the temple does have a strange crooked steeple and a curved ceiling, but the building is not altogether inventive. The reason for this is that most Essembrans worship Gond more as the God of Craftsfolk. Essembra's artistic population of elves (around 506 in number) and Gnomes (around 140) commonly frequent the temple. Particularly industrious or artistic humans also worship Gond here.
