Personal history
Bahamut was among the Prime Deities who fought against the Betrayer Gods. Following the Dawn War, in which Bahamut helped defend Vasselheim, the platinum dragon shed a tear for the sacrifices his devoted followers had made in the war. From that tear was born a crystal, the Star of Exaltation, which was preserved for millennia, until shortly after 510 PD, when the city came under a terrible siege. The crystal was used as a focus in a ritual to bring Bahamut's intervention to defend Vasselheim, and this expended the last of the crystal's power and destroyed it on the Material Plane.
Bahamut's devout paladin, Kima of Vord, received some of her fighting implements directly from an avatar of Bahamut.
