READiNG THE DEiTY ENTRiES
[/b] The first line gives the name by which the deity is generally known. Other names and titles attributed to the deity (if any) are given immediately below the name. Following the name is the deity's level of power. In descending order, the levels of power are greater deity, intermediate deity, lesser deity, and demigod. These rankings represent the relative levels of power among the deities only. HOME PLANE. The portion of the cosmos where the deity usually resides. SYMBOL. A short description of the holy or unholy symbol of the deity. The symbol is often used on altars or other items dedicated to the deity. ALiGNMENT. The deity's alignment. Two alignments are within one step of each other if they appear adjacent to each other horizontally or vertically on the following chart. Alignments that are adjacent to each on a diagonal are not within one step. | Lawful Good | Neutral Good | Chaotic Good | | Lawful Neutral | Neutral | Chaotic Neutral | | Lawful Evil | Neutral Evil | Chaotic Evil |
Some deities do not accept clerics of all alignments that are within one step of their own. For example, Bahamut, a lawful good deity, has lawful good and neutral clerics but does not allow lawful neutral clerics. PORFOLiO. The aspects of mortal existence with which the deity is most often associated. Portfolio elements are listed roughly in order of their number and importance to the deity. WORSHiPERS. Those who worship or venerate the deity, listed roughly in order of their number and importance to the deity. FAVORED WEAPONS. The kind of weapon the deity favors.

[/i] DemigodSymbol: Grinning dragon's head Home Plane: Outlands Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Portfolio: Learning, invention, pleasure Worshipers: Chaotic dragons, free thinkers Favored Weapon: Claw Aasterinian is a cheeky deity who enjoys learning through play, invention, and pleasure. She is Io's messenger, a Huge Brass dragon who enjoys disturbing the status quo. [/ul] DogmaClergy and Temples[/blockquote][/size] |

BAHAMUT
[/i] Lesser DeitySymbol: Star above a milky nebula Home Plane: Celestia Alignment: Lawful Good Portfolio: Good dragons, wind, wisdom Worshipers: Good dragons, anyone seeking protection for evil dragons Favored Weapon: Bite Bahamut is revered in many locales. Though all good dragons pay homage to Bahamut, Gold, Silver, and Brass dragons hold him in particularly high regard. Other dragons, even evil ones (except perhaps his archrival Tiamat) respect Bahamut for his wisdom and power. In his natural form, Bahamut is a long, sinuous dragon covered in silver-white scales that sparkle and gleam even in the dimmest light. Bahamut's catlike eyes are deep blue, as azure as a midsummer sky, some say. Others insist that Bahamut's eyes are a frosty indigo, like the heart of a glacier. Perhaps the two merely reflect the Platinum Dragon's shifting moods. [/ul] DogmaClergy and Temples[/blockquote][/size] |

CHRONEPSiS
[/i] Lesser DeitySymbol: An unblinking draconic eye Home Plane: Outlands Alignment: Neutral Portfolio: Fate, death, judgment Worshipers: Dragons, those who would observe Favored Weapon: Claw Chronepsis is neutral--silent, unconcerned, and dispassionate. He is the draconic deity of fate, death, and judgment. His form is colorless and without luster, marking him as an outsider to the struggles of the chromatic and metallic dragons.

FALAZURE
[/i] Lesser DeitySymbol: Draconic skull Home Plane: Hades Alignment: Neutral Evil Portfolio: Decay, undeath, exhaustion Worshipers: Evil dragons, necromancers, undead Favored Weapon: Claw The terrifying Night Dragon, Falazure, is neutral evil. He is the lord of energy draining, undeath, decay, and exhaustion. Some claim he has a decaying skeletal form, but others believe he looks like a decrepit Black dragon whose flesh is pulled tight over his bones. [/ul] DogmaClergy and Temples[/blockquote][/size] |

GARYX
[/i] Lesser DeitySymbol: Reptilian eye superimposed over a flame Home Plane: Pandemonium Alignment: Chaotic Evil Portfolio: Fire, destruction, renewal Worshipers: Dragons, sorcerers, warlords, some druids Favored Weapon: Claw Garyx the All-Destroyer symbolizes the sheer power and destructive force of dragonkind. Some argue that Garyx is actually insanem as a result of his long occupation of the Windswept Depths of Pandemonium. He appears much like a great wyrm Red dragon.

Of the dragon gods, she is the most friendly (even Aasterinian enjoys a reputation of playful danger). [/ul] DogmaClergy and Temples[/blockquote][/size] |

iO
[/i] Intermediate DeitySymbol: A multi-colored metallic disk Home Plane: Outlands Alignment: Neutral Portfolio: Dragonkind Worshipers: Dragons Favored Weapon: Claw Io the Ninefold Dragon is Neutral, for he encompasses all alignments within his aspects. He can (and does) appear as any dragon type, from the smallest White dragon to the largest great wyrm. [/ul] DogmaClergy and Temples[/blockquote][/size] |

LENDYS
[/i] Lesser DeitySymbol: Sword balanced on a needle's point Home Plane: Mechanus Alignment: Lawful Neutral Portfolio: Balance, justice Worshipers: Dragons Favored Weapon: Claw Unlike Chronepsis, who judges the life of a dragon only after its death, Lendys metes out justice during a dragon's life. His scales are a tarnished silver, some say because he cares more about judging others than tending to himself. [/ul] DogmaClergy and Temples[/blockquote][/size] |

TAMARA
[/i] Lesser DeitySymbol: Seven-pointed star on a field of black Home Plane: Elysium Alignment: Neutral Good Portfolio: Life, light, mercy Worshipers: Good dragons, healers, those desiring mercy Favored Weapon: Claw Tamara is the kindest and most benevolent of the draconic deities, Some mistake this quality for weakness, though such beings don't make the same error twice. She appears as a luminously beautiful Silver dragon, her eyes shining with the brightness of the sun itself. [/ul] DogmaClergy and Temples[/blockquote][/size] |

TiAMAT
[/i] Lesser DeitySymbol: Five-headed dragon Home Plane: Baator Alignment: Lawful Evil Portfolio: Evil dragons, conquest, greed Worshipers: Evil dragons, conquerors Favored Weapon: Bite All evil dragons pay homage to Tiamat; Green and Blue dragons acknowledge her sovereignty the most readily. Good dragons have a healthy respect for Tiamat, though they usually avoid mentioning her or even thinking about her. In her natural form, Tiamat is a thick-bodied dragon with five heads and a wyvern's tail. Each head is a different color: White, Black, Green, Blue, and Red. Her massive body is striped in those colors. Tiamat has many consorts, including great wyrm dragons of the White, Black, Green, Blue, and Red varieties.
