Oghma (pronounced OGG-mah ^[3]), also known as The Lord of Knowledge, is the neutral greater power of bards, inspiration, invention, and knowledge in Faerûn. Oghma is the leader of the Deities of Knowledge and Invention and his homeplane is the House of Knowledge. His symbol is a blank scroll.

[edit] Worshipers

Those who worship Oghma include artists, bards, cartographers, inventors, loremasters, sages, scholars, scribes and wizards—archivists, a generalist cleric prestige class, might pray to him as well. They can be of any alignment, unlike most neutral gods. They often wear Oghma's symbol, a silver scroll on a chain, as a necklace^[4].

Companions of the Silver String 

The Companions of the Silver String are heroic bards who acted valiantly at risk of their own lives in the service of the church of Oghma.
