Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon

The Just Flame, Warden of Balance, Lord of Scales and Sky

Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon, is a god of justice, wisdom, and divine order—an ancient and revered force whose presence commands awe and reverence. Said to be older than even the shaping of the Stolen Expanse, Bahamut did not rise with the Prime Gods but descended upon the world from the stars, drawn by the stirrings of imbalance and chaos during the first forging of mortal destiny.

Clad in gleaming scales that shimmer with starlight and wings that span the sky, Bahamut is the embodiment of righteous authority and protective strength. He is the flame that purifies, not destroys—the sky that watches, not dominates. He is worshiped by those who value honor, self-discipline, and the defense of the innocent: paladins, judges, noble rulers, and humble protectors alike.

Where other gods may favor passion, chaos, or ambition, Bahamut is a being of measured restraint. His divine law is not blind obedience, but a living, breathing code of justice—one that seeks harmony and the good of all. He teaches that true power lies not in might alone, but in how one chooses to wield it.

Legends tell of Bahamut flying across the Expanse during the Age of Ash, when the False Gods first rose to power, shielding entire cities beneath his wings and scattering shadow with his breath of pure, silver flame. Though he did not create the Veil, he is said to have stood vigil as it was formed—ensuring that even divine sacrifice was done with clarity and justice.

He now watches from beyond the Veil, rarely intervening directly, but often sending signs and celestial messengers to guide those who fight for balance and righteousness. In rare moments of great crisis, it is said that Bahamut can manifest through a chosen champion—his voice booming like thunder, his will unstoppable.

Temples to Bahamut are built atop mountains, cliffs, or other high places, always open to the sky. His faithful are known as the Order of the Platinum Flame, who dedicate themselves to upholding law tempered with mercy. His symbol is the outstretched wings of a dragon encircling a radiant scale.

Bahamut’s eternal war is not against darkness alone—but against tyranny, injustice, and those who would pervert divine power for their own ends. His opposite, some say, is not evil itself—but pride without wisdom.

To follow Bahamut is to rise each day with the vow: To serve, to protect, to judge wisely—and never to kneel before fear or corruption.
