Draconic pantheon

Tiamat

Main article: Tiamat

Tiamat is currently the only mechanically supported draconic deity on Arelith.

Other lesser, not so often workshipped deities of draconic pantheon are listed below.

Aasterinian

Messenger of Io

CN Chaos, Dragon*, Luck, Travel, Trickery [Charm, Illusion, Trade]

Aasterinian is a cheeky deity who enjoys learning through play, invention, and pleasure. She is Io’s messenger, a huge brass dragon who enjoys disturbing the status quo. She loves all who enjoy innovation and whimsy and is accepting of all dragonblood creatures. Spellscales prove exceptionally amusing to her. She enjoys their changeable natures.

Astilabor

The Acquisitor, the Hoardmistress

N Dragon*, Protection, Wealth* [Cavern, Metal]

Astilabor represents the natural draconic desire to acquire treasure and power. She dislikes the naked greed displayed by Tiamat and her followers. She appears as a Huge dragon who shimmers with all the chromatic and metallic colors of dragonkind.

Bahamut

The Platinum Dragon, King of the Good Dragons, Lord of the North Wind

LG Air, Dragon*, Good, Luck, Protection [Nobility, Storm]

Bahamut is revered in many locales. Though all good-aligned dragons pay homage to Bahamut, gold, silver, and brass dragons hold him in particularly high regard. Other dragons, even evil ones (except perhaps his archrival Tiamat), respect Bahamut for his wisdom and power. In his natural form, Bahamut is a long, sinuous dragon covered in silverwhite scales that sparkle and gleam even in the dimmest light. Bahamut’s catlike eyes are deep blue, as azure as a midsummer sky, some say. Others insist that Bahamut’s eyes are a frosty indigo, like the heart of a glacier. Perhaps the colors merely reflect the Platinum Dragon’s shifting mood.

Chronepsis

The Silent, The Watcher

N Death, Dragon*, Knowledge [Fate, Planning, Time]

Chronepsis is neutral—silent, unconcerned, and dispassionate. He is the draconic god of fate, death, and judgment. His form is colorless and without luster, marking him as an outsider in the struggles between the chromatic and metallic dragons.

Falazure

The Night Dragon

NE Death, Dragon*, Evil [Darkness, Undeath]

The terrifying Night Dragon, Falazure, is the lord of energy draining, undeath, decay, and exhaustion. Some claim he has a decaying skeletal form; others believe that he looks like a superannuated black dragon whose flesh is pulled tight over his bones.

It is(sss!) generally accepted that Falazure created (or had a hand in creating) the fi rst undead dragons, such as dracoliches, vampiric dragons, and ghostly dragons.

Garyx

Firelord, All-Destroyer, Cleanser of Worlds

CE Chaos, Destruction, Dragon*, Evil, Fire [Renewal]

Garyx the All-Destroyer symbolizes the sheer power and destructive force of dragonkind. Some argue that Garyx is actually insane, as a result of his long residence on the Windswept Depths of Pandemonium. He appears much like a great wyrm red dragon.

Hlal

The Jester, The Keeper of Tales

CG Chaos, Dragon*, Good, Trickery [Rune]

Hlal is a sleek, copper-colored dragon with a ready grin and a happy glint in her eye. Of all the dragon gods, she is the most friendly to nondragons.

Io

The Concordant Dragon, the Great Eternal Wheel, Swallower of Shades, the Ninefold Dragon, Creator of Dragonkind

N Dragon*, Knowledge, Magic, Strength, Travel, Wealth* [Spell]

Io is the Ninefold Dragon, known as such because he embodies all alignments within his outlook. Io is regarded as the creator of dragons, subtly manipulating the destinies of all dragons by operating out in the open where nobody suspects his involvement. Io is concerned solely with the affairs of dragons and dragonkind, interfering in their lives only when he deems it absolutely necessary.

Lendys

Scale of Justice, the Balancer, Weigher of Lives

LN Destruction, Dragon*, Law, Protection [Retribution]

Unlike Chronepsis, who judges the life of a dragon only after its death, Lendys metes out justice during a dragon’s life. His scales are a tarnished silver, some say because he cares more about judging others than tending to himself.

Tamara

Her Benefi cence, Her Mercy

NG Dragon*, Good, Healing, Strength, Sun [Family]

Tamara is the kindest and most benevolent of the draconic deities. Some mistake this characteristic for weakness, though such beings don’t make the same error twice. She appears as a luminously beautiful silver dragon, her eyes shining with the brightness of the sun.
