Oghma, The Learner

The Learner

Patron god of scholars, researchers, cartographers, librarians, archivists, scholars and mages, and even some bards, Oghma is a powerful deity who thrives on the collective knowledge offered to him in the way of the vast amounts of records, tomes, scrolls and tablets stored in temples dedicated to him across Haeras.

Gather, Preserve, Share

Knowledge is a treasure, in the eyes of Oghma, and is worth venturing far and wide. His followers are encouraged to find and collect knowledge, and preserve it within the safety and safekeeping of the followers and priests working in temples that double in function as grand libraries and archives, most of which is publicly accessible to the people. The knowledge kept within is shared between the different temples, and some of Oghma's clerics and paladins specialise in safely transporting it between them.
