Dogma

Boram's dogma is more of a way of life - a life of whimsy and abandon, free from any fetters of custom, law, inhibition, or morality. Freedom is a cardinal virtue of Boram's faith and a higher principle than good or evil. All too often, drunken revelry turns into drunken savagery, but Boram condemns neither. Mortals often worship Boram whenever they drink wine, pouring out a little of their drink in his honor.
