Oghma
God of Knowledge (a.k.a. The Collector / Keeper of Scrolls)
Oghma is the most powerful god for knowledge. He is a wise god who rewards those who convince others of his view of things. He tends to think through his actions before putting them into practice. He sits as judge over every new idea and decides whether it stays with its creator or is allowed to spread on Gaia.
Most Oghmatic myths date back to the earliest centuries of mortal existence. Some claim that Oghma gifted the world with written language, others that the Collector is responsible for all its designs.
Together, Oghma, Milil and Gond are known as the gods of knowledge and invention. The Collector has something of a patron-client relationship with Milil, whom he treats as his servant to secure and preserve knowledge. He appreciates Gond's enthusiasm and creativity, but disapproves of the Wonderbringer's desire to push technology further and further, putting innovation before self-examination.

Knowledge
Tenets of Faith
Knowledge, especially the raw knowledge of ideas, is unchallenged.
An idea has no weight, but can move mountains.
The greatest gift of mortals, an idea, overshadows anything else created by mortal hands.
Knowledge is power and must be handled with care, but hiding it from others is never a good thing. Do not suppress new ideas, no matter how wrong or crazy they seem. Let them all be heard and considered.
Never slay a singer and do not stand idly by while others do.
Spread knowledge where it is wise to do so.
Throttle and reject falsehood, rumor and deceitful history wherever you encounter them.
Write or copy lore of great value at least once a year and give it away.
Support and teach bards, scribes and record keepers.
Spread truth and knowledge so that all the people may know more.
Never deliver false or incomplete news.
Teach reading and writing to those who ask you, if your time permits, and do not charge money for these teachings.
