[edit] Description

Keoghtom most often appears as a young human male of slight build, wearing elven leathers or fine clothes of silk.

[edit] Clergy and temples

Keogtom has few followers, though they are found nearly anywhere, and are from a variety of backgrounds and ideologies. He is especially popular among alchemists.

Keoghtom's symbol is a round disk, bisected by an upward-pointing arrow.

[edit] History

Keoghtom is believed to have been born sometime around the 2nd century BCY in the Sheldomar Valley, some 300 years following the Great Migrations. As a mortal, Keoghtom dabbled in the Old Faith, the Faerie Mysteries, and the secrets of the Silent Ones, yet never became fully indoctrinated by any of them. His travels eventually brought him into the service (and friendship) of Fharlanghn, and into an adventuring band led by Zagig Yragerne. After Zagig attained godhood, Keoghtom retreated to the Celadon Forest, and then from Oerth entirely.

[edit] Associations

Keoghtom is great friends with Zagyg and Murlynd. He is close to the archmage Mordenkainen and the hero-deity Heward (who are kin), and is an associate of Celestian, the Far Wanderer.

[edit] Keoghtom's Ointment

Keoghtom's Ointment is a magic item, a small jar of magical unguent. When rubbed on an affected area, this ointment cures poison, diseases, and wounds.
