Unlike the Betrayer Gods, such as his sister and rival Tiamat, the Scaled Tyrant, Bahamut’s clergy and temples operate openly in civilized lands. They often cooperate with other lawful deities like Erathis, the Lawbearer, to maintain peace and order.

History and Legendary Champions

Bahamut’s mortal agents and champions have historically risen to defend the realm against the devastation of chromatic dragonkind. Among his legendary heroes of the past is Uther Vendrock, known as “The Silvered Star,” who is recorded as a Platinum Dragon.

Three hundred years ago, when a devastating flight of Chromatic Dragons attacked the emerging cities of the Sword Coast, Uther fought alongside a legendary band of heroes—including Lady Tanager Alagondar of Neverwinter and Elminster Aumar, the Sage of Shadowdale. This alliance successfully pushed back the dragons and slew the Green Dragon Virethas, the Jade Queen. Following his death, Uther Vendrock was buried on Stormwreck Isle.
