Bahamut

Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon is the lawful-good dragon god justice, protection and nobility. He is the patron of good dragons and the creator of dragonborn.

Description
Bahamut is depicted as a massive, long and sinuous dragon with silver-white scales and blue, cat-like eyes that change depending on his mood, ranging from sky-blue to frosty indigo.

Relationships
Bahamut is a child of the dragon god Io, and a fierce enemy of Tiamat, his evil sister and twin. He deeply respects Moradin who shares his Lawful Good ideology.

Realm
Bahamut, Kord, and Moradin live in the realm of Celestia in the Astral Sea. Each rules a different mountain on the island, which they are able to change the shape of at will. Bahamut's palace is located on the mountain of Mertion, and is made of gold, platinum, and mithril, and the windows are made of gemstones; the palace also serves as Bahamut's hoard.

Dogma
Bahamut is very stern and disapproving of evil. He accepts no excuses for foul deeds. On the other hand, he is very compassionate, and has boundless empathy for the weak and downtrodden. He urges his followers to promote good, but to let people fight their own battles when they can, providing healing, information, or temporary safe refuge rather than fighting alongside those who can fight for themselves.

Bahamut's own greatest priority is his endless war with his sister Tiamat. He opposes all her schemes, answering them move for move. He values wisdom, knowledge, prophecies, and song. For a dragon, he is neither vain nor greedy.

Worshipers
Bahamut is revered by all good dragons, but gold, silver, and brass dragons hold him in particularly high regard. The evil dragons do not revere him, but respect Bahamut for his power and wisdom.

The dragonborn race reveres him as a creator god, while other races invoke him for strength and protection.

Clergy
Bahamut only accepts good-aligned priests. They may be dragons, dragonborn, or other beings. They strive to constantly yet subtly act on behalf of good. They oppose evil, but their first mandate is to ensure they do no harm in the process.

Temples
Bahamut is one of the three patron deities of Geldn, and his holy symbol is the centerpiece of the great stained glass window in the Crusader's Keep.

Temples to the Platinum Dragon are very rare. Those few that exist are beautiful, elegant edifices characterized by clean, simple architecture and furnishings. Within them will be public rooms in which the faithful can gather and private rooms for meditation and recuperation.

Dragons will not normally build temples, contenting themselves with simple symbols on the wall that they treat as shrines. Bahamut prefers his followers to worship him with deeds, not objects.
