It is the dream of every parent
that his or her child have a better life than the parent had. Amat was no
different. The offspring of a dalliance with a devil, Wandle was destined
for greatness. However, her aspirations have always been far higher than
her reality.
During the Return of Amat,
Wandle was ready to make her play for power. When it looked as though
Amat had no hope for victory, she petitioned the Counsil to elevate her
and let her speak for the Amatine Gnomes. Her plea fell on deaf ears, and
many gnomes were outraged by her perceived betrayal. When Amat was
imprisoned, she came to the Amatine Gnomes as a parent would come to a
child to say: “I told you so.” Most of the gnomes would have none of it.
Wandle was left with few followers, and a lowly status among the deities.
Since that time more than five
hundred years ago, Wandle has fought to claim her position. The death of
the Spider Queen gave her a sudden influx of followers, and her battles
with Corahakar have given her a greater purpose. It is no longer the
Amatine Gnomes for whom she battles; it is female domination, by any
means.
That does not mean she is
oblivious to the past. Wandle openly works against the cult of Amat,
wanting no possibility of her father’s return. She also remembers those
who harbor the greatest hatred for her race: The Oldest Orc and Stasis.
It is unfortunate for her, that the Counsil too remembers the sins of her
and her father. Her cult is given no quarter by most of the Counsil.
