In many campaign settings for the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' role-playing game, Segojan Earthcaller is the gnome deity of earth and nature. Unlike Baervan Wildwanderer, who is a god of the plants and forests of the surface world, Segojan's area of concern is the deep earth and the life within it. He is said to have given the gnomes their ability to communicate with burrowing mammals. His symbol is a glowing gemstone; usually this is a finely cut gem of any type in which illusion spells have been cast to provide magical light. This can be any gem, but Segojan is associated strongly with diamonds. The god's own power makes these spells permanent as long as they are carried by his priests. His sacred animal is the badger. Segojan is also the gnomish god of the dead, because gnomes inter their fallen in his domain. Segojan is one of the oldest gods of the gnomes. He was originally the god of nature in general, mining, jewelry-making, and magic, but these roles have become supplanted over time by Baervan Wildwanderer, Flandal Steelskin, Garl Glittergold, and Baravar Cloakshadow, respectively. ==Publication history== Segojan Earthcaller was first detailed in Roger E. Moore's article "The Gnomish Point of View," in ''Dragon'' #61 (TSR, 1982).〔Moore, Roger E. "The Gnomish Point of View."
