Dragon Domain

Gods of dragons - including Bahamut, Tiamat, Faluzure, Io, and various lesser deities - are few compared to other gods but inspire fear and awe from many. Their followers are mighty dragons or more humanoid servants such as dragonborn, kobolds, half dragons, or others that revere the legendary dragon gods. In particular, Bahamut and Tiamat both have a strong following of non-draconic worshippers. Devotees of the Platinum Dragon, king of metallic dragons, spread their god's ideals of justice, compassion, and goodness. Meanwhile, worshippers of the evil Dragon Queen, mother of chromatic dragons, revel in her greed and need to elevate dragons above all others. Clerics of the dragon gods glorify the power of dragons, while seeking to assist and protect those dragons who are aligned with their dragon god.
