Message: <blockquote data-quote="LordGraz'zt" data-source="post: 5705092" data-attributes="member: 90924">Thankyou once again for the feedback - please be brutal with the below.The idea of the below is just to give a general feel for the two main gods of the setting - does the below achieve that?My players are not the types that require a great deal of information and backstory (ie. I do not need to go into great lengths about how the religion interacts with the world and how the hierarchy of the churches are established) - all I want to achieve with the below is to give them a general vibe on what each of the gods represent and their feel.Most citizens of the campaign setting worship each god equally as they both represent (or are suppose to represent) traits that all people can use and that most people (especially dragons) value.They each have their own clerics and paladins and while there are rivalries between the two religions they are not diametrically opposed as they are in most settings.Bahamut and TiamatIn the early days of creation when the gods fought the primordials for ownership of the multiverse it is said that that the great primordial Erek-Hus, King of Terror faced Io, God of Dragons on a blasted continent half shattered from a century of conflict. The two met in ferocious battle that lasted 22 days and nights until Erek-Hus neared destruction. Filled with pride at bringing an end to the powerful primordial and gripped by greed at claiming his power for his own the Dragon God arrogantly played with his foe, taunting him with his folly at facing the most powerful deity ever known in single combat.At this a vicious smile spread across the terrifying visage of the King of Terror as his children Ogremoch the Stone Tyrant and Imix the Eternal Flame burst forth from the broken crust of the forgotten world and launched an attack with ferocious abandon. While children were no match for the God of Dragons they provided their father with the opening he needed. As Io broughr draconic fury with claw and breath upon the two lesser primordials Erek-Hus readied himself. With his mountain sized adamantine great axe Shax, he split Io from head to tail, neatly cleaving the deity into two pieces. Erek-Hus and his children laughed, his voice jubilant thunder that resounded across the scarred face of the world. Before his laugh died away, the divine power released from Io formed two great dragons. Bahamut, a massive, long and sinuous dragon with platinum scales and Tiamat, a smaller dark dragon with five heads each screaming vengeance.The children of Io turned upon the children of Erek-Hus laying Ogremoch and Imix low before turning their draconic might upon the slayer of their father. Before the blood red sun set that day the two godlings roared to the multiverse over the destroyed and mutilated bodies of the three primordials declaring their arrival and the coming of a new age of dragons.Bahamut - The Platinum DragonTraits: Majesty, Honor, Justice, Wisdom, PrideThe followers of Bahamut belive in the majesty of leadership, bound by honor they serve the dragonlords in ensuring justice is served throughout Arkhosia. Wisdom is prized over intelligence and while pride is their wellspring of strength  it is also their weakness as pride can easily lead to arrogance and their undoing.Tiamat - The Dragon QueenTraits: Dominion, Ambition, Cunning, Intelligence, DesireThe followers of Tiamat believe in the dominion over others, fueled by ambition they serve their dragonlords with cunning ensuring every plan to power realised. Intelligence is prized over wisdom and while desire is their driving force it is also their weakness as desire can easily lead to greed and their undoing.</blockquote>
