Dragonborn worship often takes the form of grand ceremonies, feasts, and festivals, where they honor their patron deities and the Celestial Host. These rituals typically involve offerings of precious stones, metals, or other valued materials, as well as prayers, hymns, and sacred dances.
In addition to these formalized rituals, dragonborn also engage in personal devotions, meditation, and communion with their patron deity through various means, such as: Dreaming: A mystical practice where the dragonborn enters a trance-like state to communicate with their patron deity or receive prophetic visions. Scrying: The use of mirrors, crystals, or other reflective surfaces to gaze upon the divine and seek guidance.
