Church of Oghma

The Church of Oghma holds knowledge as supreme, especially in its purest form—the idea. Though formless, a simple idea could have the greatest influence on the world. This was summarized in an aphorism of the faith that, if said aloud, also served as a prayer, "An idea has no heft but it can move mountains. An idea has no authority but it can dominate people. An idea has no strength but it can push aside empires. Knowledge is the greatest tool of the mortal mind, outweighing anything made by mortal hands. Before anything else can exist, the idea must exist. In essence, knowledge was power, but it must be used responsibly and hiding knowledge from the world could never be a good thing.[4][5][6] In turn, ignorance was a shackle of the mind, preventing beings from providing their full benefits to their fellows.[10] Hence, the faithful were instructed to encourage and innovation and new ideas, no matter what they led to; gather and preserve knowledge so it was not lost; and disseminate knowledge as far as they could so it could be of benefit to everyone.[7] They should also not suppress any new ideas, even if they seemed irrational or false, but instead allow them to be heard and considered freely. Yet they were also required to restrain and refute lies, rumors, and deceptive accounts[4][5][6] and so they opposed people who promoted trickery, deception, and ignorance.
