Oghma is the lord of knowledge and thought, both the spoken and the written word. The Binder is served by all who seek knowledge, including bards, lorekeepers, sages, scribes, and wizards. Oghma thrives on new ideas, regardless of their consequences, and the communication of knowledge in all its forms. Oghma’s strictures demand the following: ✦ Encourage innovation and new thoughts, wherever they might lead. ✦ Collect and preserve knowledge before it is lost. ✦ Disseminate knowledge as widely as possible so that all can benefit from its instruction. Usually portrayed as a elven or half-elven bard with a small, guitar-like instrument. He started naming things and thus brought them to life. ## Aliases - God of knowledge, "Binder of all that is known". - The Binder of What Is Known - Unaligned Greater God ## Comparison to other gods - In [[91_20210911 Neverember's Rally]], Xio learned that Oghma is stronger than [[Tyr]]. ## Dreams of Oghma that Xio has received - _Uncover the secrets.
