Enni, the Balancer (ENNI)

(a.k.a. Nymmurh, the Informal Beak (Nyh-mmurh))

Enni is the lawful neutral dragon god of justice and the judge of dragons in life instead of after death. He is the consort of Enrdin and is commonly worshiped alongside her and Xymor, who in some traditions is considered to be their son.   In his natural form, Enni is a huge wingless bronze Dragon with tarnished scales, and his eyes gleam with brilliant beams of light so no one could hide from his gaze. Some said that he cared more about judging others than himself.

Holy Prayers

Holy Rites

Any trial for justice counted as a rite to Enni. The duty of finding the truth in a trial was taken seriously by his clergy. Although the god often focused his judgement exclusively on dragons, other races who worshiped him usually generalized any act of justice as an honor.

Dogma

Enni was justice personified. As such, he represented the principle that every action had a reaction and that everything had to be balanced at the end. It was Enni who ensured that those who did evil acts were rewarded with evil, that those who did good received good, and those who lived by the sword died by the sword. He had no mercy in his soul, nor forgiveness, and gave no second chances.   As arbiter of dragonkind, Enni served as judge, jury, and executioner. When a dragon committed an injustice against all dragons, Enni or one of his great wyrm followers went to dispatch appropriate justice. Punishments were severe and no one heard of anyone appealing to his mercy.   Some of his dragon adepts followed the Ptarian Code a draconic code of honor created by the gold dragon Ptaris in the ancient past. Originally intended as a guide to conduct for the lords who attended the King of Justice, the Ptarian Code eventually was adopted by many gold and silver dragons.   The Ptarian Code was similar to the codes of chivalry adopted by knightly orders of humanity. It included paying homage to Enni, as well to the draconic deities Bahamut and Tama’arand. The major precepts were:  
Justice and Good above all.
Honor and Fealty to the King.
Honor and Respect to Righteous Innocence.
Honor and Duty to the Balancer (Enni), to Her Mercy (Tama’arand), and to the Justicemaker (Bahamut).
Honor and Protection to the Lesser Races.
Honor and Correction to the Enemies of Justice and Good.
Honor and Forbearance for oneself.

Clergy

Enni's clergy served as judges among dragonkind. In some cases, towns even asked a cleric of Enni to parse out justice.

Clerical Training

Temples

There were few temples to the dragon god of Justice. Most dragons often had small shrines to him in their lairs. Other races had a small shrine engraved with his holy symbol set up in a courtroom or courthouse.
