History
This family are the first Black Dragon that was seen by the Elves and so were worshipped as gods.
During the Miylian War the family sided with [I am thinking they sided with the Elves because that is where they get most of their power.] As the war was coming to an end Tialímin betrayed the family outsing them from the Flight.
Turning Knommguh into a mountain.
Tialímin serving as the Portal Master would cause him to travel more so he may have been the most active during War of the Worlds and when at home started to get board of playing god but still liked the treatment which would be something that he didn't get in the other worlds. Also by spending more time away from home he started to like mortals better than dragons.
During that could be various other histories.
When Nyiltokti is being constructed more people move to the city causing less people to live in Ubudongiu. Since Pfussäwinn Family was building he city they were becoming more powerful creating Bridt Schtricksüker where all dragon houses has a say which the family was against.
After the war most of the family went into hiding but still acted like close organization.

Worship
There are many ways to worship the various gods and they all have their traditions that are used to honor and worship them. Here is a quick summary of the major gods' general worship and holy festivals. The others will be within their own cults with their ideals within their articles.
Solsínabh the Spider Queen
The weaver of the world who told the stories of the world and brought it into being. Solsínabh the Spider Queen is the chief goddess of the pantheon and is one of the most chaotic gods within the pantheon. She is easy enough, please as the goddess of stories telling tales became a daily aspect of the lives of her worshippers. She does require blood sacrifices during her holy days but not necessarily death. She also create the Drider Rite which brought the Drider to The Waves.
Knommguh the Lord of Order
The creator of laws ordered the stories of his wife and gave structure and purpose to those stories. He is worshipped by following the various laws of the land.
The Lady of Wealth Veninedute
Much like her father Veninedute is a Lawful Goddess who is worshipped by following the laws and through proper use of money and trade. She created the standards of trade and the weights that were used.
Qaydith God of Pleasure and Pain
One of the most popular gods in the pantheon was Qaydith is a god of slaves and sex focusing on indulgence. He was chaotic like his mother the Spider Queen and tricky to deal with. He was a god that justified the slaves that the Miylian Elders kept and one that allowed people to cut loose. As a god of domination, he is hard to deal with and fine with subjecting anyone and everyone.
Kenus the Lord of Magic
The Lord of Magic governed the magical order of the world for Knommguh and documented the schools of magic and the alignments that magic is divided into.
