Draconic Pantheon

The Draconic pantheon is a group of dragon deities who are worshipped by many true dragons and other reptilian species. Its best known members include Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon and god of the good-aligned metallic dragons; and Tiamat, progenitor of the evil chromatic dragons.
The Draconic pantheon is the oldest pantheon of gods in Theras. Dragons of that time were devout followers of their gods, and such devotion sparked intense wars, over philosophical differences not only between different species but also within species.

Members

• Aasternian, a chaotic neutral female brass dragon, serves as Messenger of Io.
• Astilabor, the Hoardmistress, The Aquisitor is the neutral Draconic god of wealth and acquisition.

Astilabor was absorbed after invading the Elven pantheon, specifically, the feywilds where many Eldarins and Elves lived.

He is particularly revered by gold, silver and brass dragons, though all good-aligned dragons hold some reverence for Bahamut, and even evil-aligned have grudging respect his strength.

Worship Members of the Draconic pantheon are primarily worshipped by true dragons. Unlike the common Human religions, there are few organized religious practices among dragons, and individual practices vary. Worship of the entire Draconic pantheon as a group is rare, and few dragons become clerics of their deity.
Not all dragons even worship a deity, although it is common for them to at least hold a level of reverence for the Draconic gods, even though
Among the humanoid races, there are many cults of worship to Draconic deities. Such worship is most common among reptilian species, including half-dragons, lizardfolk, and troglodytes.
However, in the last two thousands years, different cultures adopted the dragon gods, by their true names. However, most of the dragons like Hlal, are worshiped as Adis.
