Knowledge Domain in Forgotten Realms | World Anvil

Knowledge Domain

Overview

The gods of knowledge - most notably Oghma - value learning and understanding above all. Some teach that knowledge is to be gathered and shared in libraries and universities, or promote the practical knowledge of craft and invention. Some deities hoard knowledge and keep its secrets to themselves. And some promise their followers that they will gain tremendous power if they unlock the secrets of the multiverse. Followers of these gods study mysterious lore, collect old tomes, delve into the secret places of the earth, and learn all they can.

Significant events typically involve powerful emotions, such as battles and betrayals, marriages and murders, births and funerals. However, they might also include more mundane events that are nevertheless important in your current situation.
