History[edit]
The story goes that Farmer Oggan was a mortal halfling who was a gifted farmer. He became famous in his community for how productive his lands were. The other villagers became jealous and it came to pass that the sheriff of the shire evicted Oggan believing that the soil must be blessed. Farmer Oggan could only afford to find a poor patch of mire to start anew. The following year the stolen lands were barren, but Oggan's patch was a bountiful as his farm had ever been. The sheriff can came to Oggan on bended knee pleading forgiveness and begging for his secret. Farmer Oggan replied that the only secret was hard work.
Farmer Oggan's story became a tenet of halfling farmers and gardeners and many made pleas in his name. Oggan ascended to Everholm and quickly was raised to demi-god status.
Worship[edit]
Farmer Oggan is widely revered amongst halflings, but they raise no temples or churches in his honour. Prayers and similar pleas go against Farmer Oggan's tenet of hard work and are considered profane. However shrines to give thanks to Farmer Oggan are common in halfling marketsquares, where donations of fresh produce are left as donations for the sick and the infirm.
