Bahamut
The King of Dragons
Bahamut is revered in many locales. Though all good dragons pay homage to the King of Dragons, gold, silver, and brass dragons hold him in particularly high regard. Other dragons, even evil ones (except for his archrival Tiamat), respect Bahamut for his wisdom and power.
In his natural form, Bahamut is a long, sinuous dragon covered in sliver-white scales that sparkle and gleam even in the dimmest light. Bahamut's catlike eyes are deep blue, as azure as a midsummer sky, some say. Others insist that Bahamut's eyes are a frosty indigo, like the heart of a glacier. Perhaps the two accounts merely reflect the Platinum Dragon's shifting moods.

Tenets of Faith
Followers of the King of Dragons know him to be stern and very disapproving of evil. He brooks no excuses for evil acts. In spite of this, he is among the most compassionate beings in the multiverse. He has limitless empathy for the downtrodden, the dispossessed, and the helpless. He urges his followers to promote the cause of good, but prefers to let beings fight their own battles when they can. To Bahamut, it is better to offer information, healing, or a (temporary) safe refuge rather than to take others' burdens upon oneself.
Bahamut is served by seven great gold dragons that often accompany him or his daughter Vakul .
Bahamut has few clerics and even fewer temples. He accepts only good. Clerics of the King, be they dragons, half-dragons, or other beings attracted to Bahamut's philosophy, strive to take constant, but subtle action on behalf of good, intervening wherever they are needed but striving to do as little harm in the process as possible.
Many gold, silver, and brass dragons maintain simple shrines to Bahamut in their lairs, usually, nothing more elaborate than Bahamut's symbol scribed on a wall.
