	O'Ma, like the other eight greater gods of Avlis, has a holy warrior, called the Champion. Champions are the youngest of the holy warrior orders. The first Champion, a [[Half-Nymph\|half-nymph]] named [[NPCs:Vanoviel Niltaurwen\|Vanoviel Niltaurwen]], founded the order during the Age of Strife. Before a great battle among the gods, the original O'Ma charged Vanoviel with the task of forming the Champions of O'Ma and spreading them throughout Avlis.

	Vanoviel led the Champions until the final confrontation between O'Ma and the goddess Titania during the Age of Rebirth. By creating Fey who could interbreed with other races, O'Ma had wounded Titania's pride. To end a centuries long feud, O'Ma accepted his death from Titania's own hand in the Year of the Red Star, 2271. Vanoviel, in turn, received his mantles from Titania and ascended as Our Lady O'Ma.

	Catering to the greater good is the main precept of the master of the fairy races. Actions may not be blatantly good or evil at first. It may take some time for their results to become evident, but once it is known where the results stand, action must be taken. These are the beliefs of the follower of O'Ma, the creator of the fairy races of Avlis.		Catering to the greater good is the main precept of the master of the fairy races.

	Whether an action is lawful or chaotic does not matter to those who follow O'Ma. It only matters whether the action will bring more good than ill. Whatever must be done to further that end will be done, and the situation may vary locally.		Whether an action is lawful or chaotic does not matter to those who follow O'Ma. It only matters whether the action will bring more good than ill. Whatever must be done to further that end will be done, and the situation may vary locally.

	Theologians of O'Ma often bring up the paradox between repairing oneself and working for the greater good. Often times, doing what's best for all may hurt the deed doer. If they are hurting themselves, how can that be making a repair on the outside world? The answer lies in the person's focus. Those who are too ~~focussed~~ on themselves will often become hurt unnecessarily. If you are trapped into thinking too much about your own needs and comforts, then you will be easily hurt and disappointed. But if you are in the correct frame of mind, and you identify more with the world outside than you do your own inner self, then you will understand the need for making your sacrifice and you will realize that your REAL feelings are merely extensions of the consciousness of the world, and NOT what your mind tells you they are.

	O'Ma teaches that the greatest good comes from doing good for others, and the outside world. [[Druid\|Druids]] of O'Ma would view protecting and caring for the forest, as their way of finding enlightenment. They would also view protecting and caring for the forest, as a way to do good, for all those who live near or in the forest. A healthy forest is a boon for all people, it allows people to collect resources from it, via logging, hunting or picking plants, and these can be used to make a city healthy. Naturally, such activities would be monitored and allowed only by people who have shown they have a respect for the forest. Druids of O'Ma would view hunting down and destroying evil as an acceptable past time for a druid, provided that that evil is a threat to the forest.
