it's an overly grand honorific title that's all (Gnomes like this kind of thing apparently) the Gnome High Tinker is actually elected for a set term making Gnomes the only race in the game who have solidly instituted a form of Democracy (tho their society as a whole is Meritocratic)
The Holy Light isn't a 'creator faith' religion.Originally Posted by Eucep
in easy terms it's more akin to the light side of "The Force" from Star Wars.
just because they know where they come from doesn't mean they can't also follow the tenants of The Holy Light.
nor is there a case for any question of "faith" or "belief" because The Holy Light and several other divine powers (and in some cases their polar opposites) can be readily seen to exist in their universe.
seriously where's the need for "faith" in a world where, when someone gets injured a Priest waves his hands about, golden light flys around and the persons wounds heal...
you only need faith in something you can't prove as existing.
