Bahamut
The Platinum Dragon
The 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 and his twin sister, Tiamat, were created when the dragon god was cleaved in two by the wicked primordial Erek-Hus. Legend states that the blood shed during this battle, which was supposedly fought in Ryūshima's Spine, created the dragonborn race. Bahamut worship has been the driving force between the centuries-long cooperation between the metallic dragonborn and humans of the island, with the humans having been driven there in search of their holy land in the first place.
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.
Depiction. The Platinum Dragon is often seen emblazoned on shields and armor, both functional and decorative, in the form of a brilliant dragon head in profile. Temples and works of art depict a massive, glittering dragon with vibrant platinum scales and seemingly endless wingspan.
Holy Day. Bahamut's holy day is called Embertide, and is celebrated on the fifth day of Nightal. This is a day of remembrance, solemnity, and respect for those who have fallen in the defense of others.
