Bahamut

Justice consists not in being neutral between right and wrong, but in finding out the right and upholding it, wherever found, against the wrong.

The Platinum Dragon

The World-Shaper Io created the dragon deities Bahamut and Tiamat. They intended for Bahamut and his sister Tiamat to mate in order to create a unified dragonkind, but they developed a strong rivalry immediately after their creation. Tiamat were, in fact, once World-Shaper Io, who tore themselves asunder over the future of their creation.
Called the Platinum Dragon, Bahamut is the first dragon, and known for having created the race of dragonborn. Therefore, he is worshipped by metallic dragons and dragonborn, but also paladins, city guards and those who believe in honor and justice.
Monarchs are often crowned in his name, and court sentence are passed in his name as well.

Avatar

Depictions of Bahamut usually show him as a massive, mighty dragon with scales of radiant platinum. Some depictions included 7 smaller, ancient gold dragons circling Bahamut's unfathomable form.
Those who seek to humanize the god of justice and honor depict him as a plain-looking, often older man, who wears a platinum cap on his bald head, and is followed by seven bright yellow canaries.

Platinum Days
14th to 16th of Stormweeks

The three day festivities commemorate the creation of the first dragons upon Aeash at the height of the world's first storm. Kites are flown, and dragon sightings are considered exceptionally good luck. It's said that Bahamut's virtues should be upheld especially strongly on these days, or the Lord of the North Wind will conjure a tempest of unseen strength.
