[QUOTE="Silverglass, post: 1643290, member: 14071"] 1. Nearon certainly became less evil and destructive when he voluntarily foreswore the Destruction domain. Whether he started out LE or LN with strong evil tendencies is a matter for history. The description of Naeron is for the Age of Kings when he should be classed as LN (with slight evil tendencies). 2. Nearon can remain the Deity of Neutral and some Evil Dragons. Only the LE dragons (blue and green) would actually worship him as Clerics and by the rules they can except that this will of course be very rare. The others would not but according to D&D (and something that we haven't changed) a CE creature can worship a LN god, they just can't be a cleric, even though this would again be rare. After all a LE fighter could have any evil deity as their patron. 3. Naeron certainly does not seek the destruction of the Good dragons, there is an emnity between Naeron and Trandim on the deific playing field but no "kill them all" instructions in Naeron's dogmas. If a Good dragon isn't interferring then a LN Naeronite will be happy to leave well enough alone. Of course you do need to separate the killing of Good dragons by evil beings for a mortal purpose and a divine instruction to do so. I think I need to put together something that hints at the complexity of the relationships between Lizardlike creatures (lizardfolk, kobolds, troglodytes, kuo-toa), neutral and evil dragons and the deity that created them. The thing is that a LN deity can, by the rules have LG and LE clerics and can certainly count those alignments among its worshippers. The only way to can ever rationalise this is that you tend to have separate churches that favour some interpretations over others when it comes to dogma. After all Galvar has LG and LN nations following him. And he may certainly have NG and N dwarven worshippers. And we have to encompass the fact that some deities are worshipped by creatures that do not share the same alignments or ethos's of their worshippers due to our earlier decision that we would not create the many monster deities but rather leave these as a mix of minor powers and aspects of our pantheon that are worshipped by other names. Unless we want to pin this down in a published list we will have to deal with some stranger combinations. Perhaps the CE dragons worship the Naeron of the Age of the Gods and the LE ones worship the Naeron of the Age of Kings. [/QUOTE]
