Deneir

Overview
Deneir, who is referred to as The Scribe of Oghma, is the neutral good lesser deity of art, cartography, glyphs, images, knowledge, literature and scholars.

Worshipers
Followers Deneir always remains in close contact with that of Oghma as he is whom Deneir serves. Each of Deneir's churches maintain a library of their own, always collecting literature and maps primarily, but also keeping records of ancient languages and artistic renderings. These churches are full of scribes that transcribe books for the ever-growing collection.

Deneir answers the prayers of his organized priests, but he has also been known to choose a person who truly follows Deneir's ideals--to invent, to create, to learn. He himself seems to have a problem with some of his strictly-organized orders, whose devotion to a hierarchy and their duties impedes with his followers learning and inventing, to the point of their being little joy in their work. Despite their generally laid back attitude, the teachings of Deneir dictate that his followers create with a conscience and refrain from casually designing weapons of war or death.

Chosen
Some notable chosen of Deneir are more relaxed about rules and hierarchy, capable of teasing or joking with their more staid brethren. They are sometimes granted direct access to divine spells, rather than having to study and pray for them and their god-given power exceeded that of older Deneiran priests.
