The Platinum Dragon
In the initial birth of the metallic dragons, a husband and a wife were ascended above them to be paragons that enforced the will of the Cosmigod and lived as divine judges. They were Tiamat and Bahamut. Bahamut is the god of all metallic dragons and represents ultimate divine zeal and authority. As legend goes, he and all other dragons like him were tasked to enforce divine law throughout Brinomir and destroy those who forsook it. However, the terror and horrid things of the universe tore at all dragons, and the weakest of them snapped and became the evil chromatic dragons of today, Tiamat among them as its queen, which Bahamut was forced to seal away deep inside Avernus in the Plane of the Damned.
Unlike other gods, there have been many Bahamuts as once decreed by the Cosmigod, that when one Bahamut falls, another will rise to take its place. Each of them have grown to embody the divine authority that Bahamut represents.

Bahamut continually watches over the bonds of Tiamat in Avernus, inside the Mountain of Chaos. Worthy souls who die in the name of the Cosmigod's law are taken from the Veil where they are made into powerful draconic servants that walk alongside Bahamut.Domains
