Not because I want to play an illegal character, but because I'm comtemplating an avenger who would need some targets.   Ioun hates Vecna, but whom does Oghma want offed?

A hundred years ago, Oghma believed Cyric, Mask and Bane were the greatest threat to the balance.  Since the first two are no longer active, Bane is probably your best bet.

Cyric has "house arrest", but his followers most definitely still get their power and are still actively spreading misinformation, lies, murder and deceit.

In the FR there are two deities who could be associated best with secrets, which would be the natural opposite of Oghma the god of knowledge. Shar, goddess of darkness, is closely associated with "forgetting" things. Her prefered method to recruit new followers is to play upon their guilt for bad transgressions, or pain for things lost, turning them bitter and eventually evil. Cyric is an insane god of murder, illusions and deceit who nearly destroyed the world in the name of vengeance. He turned insane when he wanted the world to belief he was the ultimate power through an artifact he was creating, but which backfired. I suppose Ogma would also dislike Asmodeus, mostly for his murder of a fellow god of lore, Azuth (former god of wizards).
