Bahamut - The Platinum Dragon of Justice
A pillar of justice, protection, nobility, and honor, Bahamut is a beacon to paladins of order and good, and is revered by most metallic dragons as the first of their kind. The crest of the Platinum Dragon adorns many halls of high leadership and justice, invoking his will in all matters of justice. To follow him is to look after those who cannot look after themselves. Bahamut is primarily the lead Deity for the Dragonborn peoples. Over time, and the fall of the Dragonborn kingdoms, some have abandoned Bahamut, and converted to worship of the Evil Dragon Tiamat - The Scaled Tyrant, or the Guiding Light in Morencia. Bahamut's patronage is not limited just to Dragonborn, like Azyr, Bahamut accepts any who seek justice and honor, and to push back against evils. Small Shrines to Bahamut can be found throughout the lands with the largest single temple found in the Dragonborn city of Ember Cairne.
When not wandering the Outer Planes, Bahamut resides within his magnificent, glittering palace of gold, platinum, and mithril hidden among the winds of the Seven Heavens of Celestia.
