Ollom

From Praemal

Ollom, God of the Keg, a minor god of alcohol and brewing, is popular among a handful of gnomes and humans. ( Dwarves typically worship Hanseath instead.)

Ollom's temple always doubles as a tavern. (In Ptolus, it is the only tavern on the Street of a Million Gods.) The bar is also an altar. The beer is a sacrament. Each mug has a holy symbol on it and the priest says a blessing over it (and you) just as he hands it to you. By drinking, you are worshipping Ollom, or at least paying him homage. Intoxication (or just relaxation) is his gift.

He's not a god that inspires paladins or anything like that. Very few people are ever going to choose Ollom as their only deity. But many people revere him for the blessings he brings.

Even in other taverns, you'll see people toasting Ollom as they're drinking, or even whispering thanks before taking their first sip.

Many drinking songs mention Ollom.

Virtually no one bears him ill will.


One of the gods of Praemal, Ollom is Chaotic Neutral and his domains are Chaos, Civilization and Water. (The Civilization domain can be found in the Ptolus campaign book.)
