The House of Knowledge
Oghma's divine realm is known as the House of Knowledge which, contrary to its name, is actually a wilderness of old oaks and clear pools, a lonely woodland across which could be heard the echoing music of harps. The domain is dedicated not just to preserving written text in dusty scrolls, but to living, oral tales, the blessings of speech, the understanding of deep familiarity with others, and all other forms of knowledge. Oghma maintains three magical springs scattered amidst the woods: the question-answering Spring of Knowledge, language-granting Spring of Poetry, and performance-enhancing Pool of Music, each of which changed locations at his leisure, but he spent only about half of his time in his realm.
Within the Great Wheel cosmology, it is found in the Outlands, a plane of complete neutrality. There, it lay in the land of Tír na nÓg.
