History
Lognare was one of the younger dragons involved in the Rebellion of the First Age. Unlike her compatriots, who rebelled for power, she rebelled because she was, well, bored! It was all so boring, dragons collecting loot, slaying each other, the gods lecturing their children she just wanted to enjoy life to the fullest. Frihet saw that, and took her aside, saving her within his realm so that she was not punished with the rest. In his cloudy realm, he taught her as a father would teach his daughter, and upon the escape of the Evil Primordials, Frihet sent Lognare forth into the world to aid the other races to unite against their viciousness. With Kunnia's help, her words helped sway Skogen and Skadia away from their cohorts, turning the tide of the War towards those that wished to preserve the world and not destroy it.

Now, Lognare is a matron of the gnomes, and often will take the form of a gnome lass to spread mischief and help her chosen people. Other times she will appear as a small and harmless animal, particularly when pranking hunters or savage humanoids. Only in the direst situations will she assume her dragon shape, and she will normally have Handmaidens (solars and planetars) nearby, also in disguise.

Dogma
Laugh and be merry! You only have a short time on this world, so live life to the fullest. Prank those that need to be taught a lesson, for laughter makes the lesson last longer. Mislead and trick others of evil bent, and show them the ridiculousness of their ways. If they don't repent, then trip them up in a pile in front of those that would delight in their purging from the world.

Clergy and Temples
Lognare's clergy are an eccentric bunch, that much is certain. Though the Empire accepts her as part of the pantheon, few of her followers feel constrained to be within the church. Gnomes and half-elves comprise the majority of her followers, though the Shining One will take a member of any race as a worshipper, provided they follow her philosophy and ways. Her priests work constantly against evil gods of order, particularly Talvi* (whom she regards as a stuck-up bore) and Forstorelse. Many of her priests will multiclass as bards or illusionists, and they work closely with Frihet's priests, particularly the Unbound, which they gravitate towards. However, even her allies are not immune to pranking, as some of the more taciturn and serious followers of Kunnia or Frihet have learned.
