Dragon Gods

[yipwyg42]

I was looking through the dragon magic book, and began thinking of creating a campaign dealing with the worshipping of dragons. I was wondering what books out there deal with this sort of thing. I have the dragon cyclopedia book from WOTC, is there another WOTC that has the dragon gods semi-detailed.

Thanks for the info.

Races of the Dragon 3.5
Draconomicon 2e
Monster Mythology 2e (very good book)

that's all of them, as far as i know.

I was under the impression that a number of the 3E Draconomicon gods were new with that book. Did some of them come from the 2E FR book? Dragon-worshipping kobolds are important in my campaign, and I'd love to see more detail on these guys.

Yes. Tymora, Lendys, Hlal, Astilabor, and Garyx were all from the 2e Draconomicon. Some of the info there is slightly different (for example, Hlal was portrayed as a faerie dragon instead of a copper dragon), but there isn't really more detail there - the 2e descriptions were extremely brief, and Races of the Dragon is actually a better source for those particular gods (although I like how 2e distinguished Garyx's CE "destruction" aspect from his CN "purity" aspect, which some gold dragons revere). Monster Mythology is better for Aasterinian, Chronepsis, Io, and Falazure, however. I would also plug Monster Mythology for Nathair Sgiathach, who is essentially identical to Hlal.

There were some gods in the 2e Draconomicon that haven't appeared in 3e, like Kereska, goddess of magic, or Zorquan, god of "dragon-ness." The 3e designers seemed content to have one god for each major alignment, plus Chronepsis and Io.

Oh, also note that Cult of the Dragon did some retconning with the 2e Draconomicon in order to reconcile its pantheon with the very different Monster Mythology pantheon. It decided that Xymor and Bahamut were the same, added Tiamat to the pantheon, etc.

Planewalker's article on the dragon pantheon.

cool, thanks.

Nope, there's at least another:

Cult of the Dragon (FR, 2e), which has even better information than the 2e Draconomicon on the dragon deities.

Since Shemeska didn't note the Planescape On Hallowed Ground book, I'll assume there's nothing in there on the dragon gods (I'm at the office and can't look it up).

 

[BOZ]

IIRC, OHG did talk about Bahamut and Tiamat a little.

Speaking of which, where can I find the best Tiamat stats?

Not that... err... my group might run into her soon, or anything...
