History
The Cohorts were formed after the draconic civil war as a reaction to the atrocities of that time.
They served as the main military arm of the Church of Saintly light during its existence. Later he Mettalic Cohorts defended far Reach from the Second demonic invasion.
Mythology & Lore
The Metallic Cohorts believe in the equal veneration and respect of all draconic deities be they evil or good, but learning from past mistakes their actions are not guided by dogmas and rather by mortal leaders and decisions unbeholden to the whims of the gods. Individuals will follow and attempt to maintain a tenuous balance between the draconic gods tempering savagery and greed of Tiamat with honor and duty of Bahamut.
Divine Origins
The origins of such a religion come from the violent civil war that tore the dragon born apart in a bygone age where the followers of the gods could not decide or come to terms with whom was the true god of dragon kind.
In the end, a religion where all gods were treated as equal was established, much to the displeasure of both Bahamut and Tiamat.
