Editing Oghma (section)

==Trivia==
As mentioned above, Oghma, along with [[Silvanus]] are interlopers from another pantheon, most assuredly the Celtic mythology of Scotland and Ireland. Although the original Oghma was nothing like his Forgotten Realms interpretation. Oghma served as the champion of king '''Nuada''' after his replacement and subsequent return to the throne as "Nuada Silverhand". Instead of being a god of knowledge, the Celtic version Oghma is considered to have been the most athletic of the gods, and was the only one who could prove his martial prowess to the interim king Bres.

Oghma was eventually replaced as Nuada's champion when a newcomer: '''Lugh''' arrived at court. Oghma picked up a stone that required eighty oxen to lift and threw it out of the court. Lugh [[Troll|responded by throwing it back in]].

It's more likely that he was more based on '''Ogmios''' who was the Gallic god of eloquence, who used his powers to bind men to his service, and both gods are sometimes described as smiling deities of eloquence. Also Oghma was credited for having created the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogham ogham] alphabet.
