Oghma

300

The Binder, the Lord of Knowledge, the god of ideas, invention and bards. Wendy Rueh appears to serve him, and the faith crosses Warden Morn Ingwood's path for the first time in Session 2.

[!info]- Lore
Oghma is a neutral god of knowledge. His symbol is a blank scroll, and in 5e his clerics take the Knowledge domain. His avatar often appears as a handsome man in flamboyant, resplendent clothes, and he is known for charm, a fine singing voice and powers of persuasion.

The Church of Oghma held that knowledge was supreme, especially in its purest form, the idea. The faithful were told to encourage innovation, preserve knowledge, and spread it as far as they could, to listen to new ideas even if they seemed false, and to oppose trickery, deception and ignorance. A novice was commanded never to kill a singer and not to stand idle while a bard is attacked. After the Time of Troubles the church splintered, with an Orthodox church in Procampur and an Oghmanyte church in Sembia, and they disagree about whether to hoard or to share knowledge.
