Boccob, the Lord of Magic
Boccob is the god of Magic, Arcane Knowledge, and Foresight. He is known as the Uncaring, the Lord of All Magics, and the Archmage of the Deities. All times and places are open to him, and he has visited many alternate realities and planes unknown to the wisest of sage.
Boccob teaches that magic is the most important force in the cosmos, and that balance between Law and Chaos, and between Good and Evil, should be preserved. Magic, according to Boccobite dogma, is an energy source of finite extent, and may eventually wane. Boccob promotes the research and creation of new spells and magical items, under the theory that this increases the amount of magic available to everyone.
Boccob's clerics are usually chaotic neutral, though a some are true neutral. Some are lawful neutral, neutral evil, or neutral good. The church does not actively encourage others to study magic, but neither does it discourage them; it's primarily concern is balance.
His domain is Knowledge and Arcana, his favoured weapon is the quarterstaff and he is worship in all lands, especially by the gnomes of the world.
