D&D 5E Any Dragon Deities by Color/alignement?

[gyor]

As a follow-up to my previous post, I do wish they had put the draconic deities in SCAG. There are a lot of humanoid followers of Tiamat and Bahamut, and the remaining deities would be useful for those dragonborn who go outside the norm and actually do worship gods.

Then again, no doubt in the future we'll be seeing a VGtM-type book that will cover dragons, and no doubt the draconic pantheon will be fully covered there anyway...

There are a lot of FR gods they didn't get to in the SCAG which is my biggest complaint.

That's a generalization. Most Dragonborn don't worship Gods, but there are minorities of Torm, Bahamut, and Tiamat worshippers, and now the growing faith of Enlil, still a only a minority of Dragonborn worshippers, but its a start.

Sure, it's a generalization. Most things in D&D are. PCs can do anything. But the fact remains that the dragonborn not worshipping the gods (refusing to) was one of the defining features of their society when they were introduced into the Realms. A only race not caught up in the duvine soap opera, with no religious culture at all, because of where they came from.

Interestingly enough, most dragon gods are not restricted to any particular color or metal. They do have some preferences, but it's not as clear cut as "This is the god of Bronze Dragons".

For example, Hlal is a great option for good aligned Sorcerers. She's a dragon goddess that has a pretty positive relationship with non-dragon races, and is rather friendly. She tends to manifest as a Faerie Dragon or Brass Dragon, but a Bronze Dragon should certainly be within her capabilities.

Ok, just saying, hlah and a few other "dragon" Gods weren't part of the original pantheon, and hlah is more of a god like being who likes to take the form of a dragon. She isn't a TRUE dragon god, just a god who takes the form of one, also, the wingless platinum dragons, in most d&d settings, are seen just as drakes given powers by the plantinium dragon, so it's a bit sketchy. The dragons from the ORIGINAL pantheon that most know of are: Io, bahamut, Tiamat, and warrior. The rest came later.

In 4e's scales of war AP, Tiamat had a bunch of exarchs, one for each type of chromatic dragon. I don't recall the names, but that could cover demigod of the chromatics.


Bahamut tends to be stuck with his 7 gold dragon canaries, and thus gold dragon elitism means no such luck for the other metallics.

You could publish a 26 volume encyclopaedia an still not have room for all the FR gods.

Cheeky, very cheeky.

No True Scotsman?

Whose "Warrior" I've never heard of that dragon God?

Oops, sorry, typo, I mean Sardior, not warrior, my phone auto corrects way too much.
