Dogma: Olidammara loves upsetting anyone who seems to attached to an ordered life and a predictable routine. He urges his followers to bend every effort towards 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 turn 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, temperance, 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 coutnryside. Olidammara's clerics often have a second occupation, such as minstrels, brewers, or jacks-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 a small shrine to Olidammara.
