Bahamut

Lore Known as the Platinum Dragon, Bahamut is the Lawful Good patron of the Dragonborn and Father of Dragons. In the Dawn Age, Bahamut and Tiamat united to create the first Dragons, bringing into existence a powerful and noble species.
Although he largely stayed out of the God War, Bahamut joined the battle against Tiamat, opposing her ambition and cruelty. His decision to refrain from further involvement led to him being considered one of the Outsider Deities, standing outside the established divine hierarchies alongside other powerful but unaffiliated gods.

Patron of Justice and Honor

Bahamut is revered for his unwavering commitment to justice and honor. His followers, especially among the Dragonborn, view him as an ideal to emulate, standing as protectors and champions of righteousness. Those in need of courage or guidance often look to Bahamut for support, believing that his spirit endows them with the strength to face their challenges with honor.

Relations with Tiamat

Bahamut’s relationship with Tiamat, the Chromatic Queen, is one of deep-rooted opposition. Although they created the first Dragons together, their values could not be more divergent. Bahamut’s commitment to justice and protection stands in stark contrast to Tiamat’s ambition and greed. This rivalry shapes the moral and ethical choices of Dragons and Dragonborn, as each faction chooses to follow the ideals of one deity over the other.

Role Among the Outsider Deities

Although Bahamut is not officially part of The Prime Pantheon, he remains a significant spiritual figure for many who seek justice and honor. As an Outsider Deity, he is often revered by those who value his ideals but prefer an independent path outside the Prime Pantheon. It is common for those in need of strength or guidance to offer a quick prayer to Bahamut, especially when seeking justice or protection. His influence remains a vital part of the spiritual landscape, bridging formal hierarchies with his steadfast commitment to honor and courage.
