KMDL

The deity of rogues, Olidammara most often appears as a brown-haired man of rakish appearance, olive skin, and merry eyes, but he often goes incognito. Olidammara delights in wine, revelry (ahem), and song. He is a vagabond, a prankster, and a master of disguise. His temples are few, but many people are willing to raise a glass in his honor.

Dogma

Olidammara loves upsetting anyone who seems too attached to an ordered life and a predictable routine. He urges his followers to bend every effort toward mastering the art of music. He also teaches that life is meant to be happy and entertaining, and the best jokes need a target to hang them on. The tables can be turned on any trickster, and Olidammara's followers should accept the laugh and appreciate the trick when it happens to them. Wine, Olidammara says, is one of the joys of life, and the only thing better than making wine is drinking it. Avoid misery, temperence, and solemnity, for they are the greatest poisons to the soul.

Clergy and Temples

Olidammara's religion is loosely organized, but his clerics are numerous. They usually work among urban folk or wander the countryside. Olidammara's clerics often have a second occupation, such as minstrels, brewers, or jack-of-all-trades. Thus, they can be found almost anywhere doing or wearing anything.

Temples dedicated solely to Olidammara are few. But as his followers say, there is a temple of Olidammara anywhere there is wine, song, and laughter. Most formal temples of Olidammara are hidden because they usually double as hideouts for thieves. Many drinking establishments include at least small shrines to Olidammara. Adventuring clerics of Olidamara are expected to spend at least half of their acquired wealth on parties, revelry (ahem), and gambling.

Sects

The Dionysus sect

In Thyatis, Olidammara is named Dionysus. The dogma of worship in the Dionysus sect is close to that of the main religion, but with a greater emphasis on drunkedness over other forms of free behaviour. The Dionysus sect believes that to achieve true freedom, we have to have freedom from self control, and this is achieved in a state of drunkedness. This sect does not view their diety as a patron of rogues, but rather a patron of freedom.
