History
The two Primordial Gods Bahamut and Moradin were born at the beginning of all things, when the Primogenitor God Atlas gave his life to birth reality and the Planes. Born as brothers, the two gods are naturally close and highly friendly with each other as they have existed together since the dawn of time itself. Though they sometimes bicker and quarrel as is the wont for brothers to do, they are nonetheless closely aligned with each other and get along well.
Relationship Reasoning
Born of the dying primogenitor god Atlas, Bahamut and Moradin are beings born of the same flesh and the same divine source, and as such are naturally in tune with each other. They spent the beginning of time shaping creation itself, and since then they have only strengthened their bonds as the lords of all Divine Pantheons and all Gods. They both harbor a strong desire to see good upheld, and both are overwhelming forces for keeping goodness alive and protecting reality from those who would destabilize it.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
Both brothers believe in good, protecting life, and seeing all life and reality prosper and flourish. Both believe in letting mortal races act according to their own wants and needs, but guiding them from a distance and letting them live their own lives in hands-off manners, for to them, if they, as divine beings, dictated the lives of their followers the sanctity of what they have worked for eons to create would be lost, as free-will is paramount to them even if it leads mortal races to bad situations or scenarios.
History
Though in the beginning the two gods were said to get along fairly well aside from their moral disagreements, in time the two greater deities came to harbor a great dislike towards each other as they both became to embody the concepts of war and battle. Ruthger took the rivalry even more serious than Bahamut, who saw Bahamut's eventual addition of war to his portfolio as an insult upon him and all he stood for, which only escalated the simmering dislike they each harbored for each other into full blown rivalry.
Relationship Reasoning
On top of greatly disagreeing on matters of moral compunction, Bahamut and Ruthger harbor an immense rivalry and dislike for each other born from Bahamut's eventual addition of war to his divine portfolio, which served as the catalyst to ignite their simmering dislike into full blown rivalry and hatred. Though Ruthger is said to take the rivalry much more seriously than Bahamut, the two greatly dislike the other due to their differing beliefs of morality and how war and battle should be waged...a fact which is only exacerbated by their shared agreement on matters of law and chaos.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
Both believe in the ways of Law and teach their followers to be familiar with battle and strife.
History
For Eons Uncounted Bahamut sat atop all divine beings and all pantheons as the lord of all gods, sitting above them all wise and goodly as he oversaw creation and provided guidance and direction for mortal and godly beings alike. Even when his other Godly brothers or allies had children, married, got together, and developed relationships it was said that Bahamut remained stoically solitary through it all...but eventually, even Bahamut began to grow lonely upon his throne, and in a moment of passion with one of his fellow deities he soon had a child. This beautiful daughter inherited her father's beautiful platinum scales as well as his deep belief in the ways of good, and in time became Lumirana as she reached maturity, patron goddess of children and the sun and all things good. The two deeply love each other, and though his daughter does not quite share his enthusiasm for law and order, they nonetheless get along very well and have ever since Lumirana came into being.
Relationship Reasoning
Though they sometimes disagree on some things thanks to Lumirana's close association with humanity and Draconia, Bahamut and his daughter are naturally incredibly close with each other thanks to their familial relationship. Both large proponents of goodness and the guidance and shepherding of mortal races on the proper paths as well as the protecting of children, though the two gods sometimes disagree on how violence should be addressed.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
The two gods both believe in goodness, protecting the innocent and children, and redeeming those who have fallen or sinned.

History
The oddest relationship and the most ancient and storied one in all the history of The Planescape, the relationship between Tiamat and her eternal rival and partner Bahamut is one told throughout the ages as one of tragedy and unfortunate circumstance...and betrayal. Contrary to many who hear of their old relationship, Tiamat and Bahamut were said to have come into being not quite at the same time, but as the result of Bahamut himself splitting his primordial essence. Due to his massive, immense, and overwhelming portfolio in the beginning of all things, Bahamut wished to separate the evil, brutal, and pragmatic side of his essence to better align himself to good...and in doing so, created Tiamat, one half of his divine essence and eternal bonded partner to him. The two were surprisingly close, and they were the original inspiration behind the concept of Yin and Yang...two opposing forces which balance each other out, eternally intertwined...and now, eternally separated, after her betrayal and death at the hands of his fellow gods, who saw her as a threat to existence.
Fear and Doubt are inevitable. It is what one does when faced with them that defines who they are. The coward embraces their fear and makes excuses; The Goodly man stands up despite this fear and doubt, even if it means standing up in the face of overwhelming odds.
