The closest they gnome culture has ever come to religious conflict, was a single summer in 1385, in which the high priests could not determine who had made the better berry wine for the festival of flowers.
For a full twenty minutes, the undecided holygnomes retreated into the divine sanctum within the hollow spirit tree, wherein they meditated and shared in good-natured debate.
Ultimately, it was decided that the lavender and citrus sangria best represented the spirit of the summer, and the year was blessed with a bountiful weed harvest.
