Oghma

The Binder of What is Known, the Lord of Knowledge, Patron of Bards, the Wise God

Oghma is the all-wise and most powerful god of knowledge in Faerûn. It is he - the Binder of What is Known - who assigned names to everything known at the beginning. The Lord of Knowledge oversees and determines what is known or what will be known, how information is shared, and who will be granted knowledge and insights into the secrets of the multiverse. Though Oghma is good-natured, some of the church’s faithful aren’t, as knowledge can be used for either good or ill purposes.
Followers of Oghma observe both Midsummer and Shieldmeet as important dates, if only because they often mark the inception or renewal of contracts, covenants, and similar bonds. However, Oghmanytes observe two daily rituals: a morning prayer of praise called the Binding, and an evening recitation of knowledge learned that day, called the Covenant.
Candlekeep is the largest and best-known center of Oghma’s worship, the massive library containing knowledge from worlds beyond Toril. Oghmanytes have other large temples throughout the world, including the Font of Knowledge in Waterdeep.
