Clergy, Temples and Worshippers
Astilabor exclusively admits clerics with a hint of neutrality in their alignment, emphasizing the need for purity in their pursuit of acquiring, expanding, and safeguarding hoards. These clerics refrain from entangling themselves in the conflicts of other dragons, preferring instead to reward those who amass substantial and valuable treasures. Revered by dragons of all varieties but actively worshipped by few, Astilabor also garners reverence from draconic humanoids and individuals aspiring to enrich themselves. Even dragons who merely pay homage to her often inscribe her holy symbol onto their hoards as a protective charm or pay tribute to her upon establishing new lairs. Dragons who venerate Astilabor may pledge a portion of their gains to her in exchange for assistance in their endeavors, yet they are careful never to renege on their promises, fearing that such actions would diminish her regard for them. In Kingdom of Arasil, the clerics are the treasurers, tax-collectors and Guilds accountants, forever enhancing the economical power of Kingdom of Arasil. Worshipers of Astilabor held amicable relations with adherents of Moradin and Garl Glittergold, as these deities recognized the significance of material riches like coins and gems. Conversely, they harbored suspicion towards followers of gods associated with trickery and thievery, viewing them as inherently dishonest individuals.Temples
Astilabor's temples often boast grand architecture, meticulously safeguarded and fortified. Their opulent decorations are usually contributions from the worshipers, torn between the urge to accumulate personal hoards and the wish to pay homage to their deity. For instance, one dragon might donate intricate platinum candlesticks, while another offers luxurious cloth-of-gold wall hangings. Each item is distinctly marked with its owner's signature style.Tenets of Faith
