1d4chan>QuietBrowser Since the minor Faerunian dragon gods from Cult of the Dragon don't exist anywhere else as far as I know, maybe write their lore into this page? I don't know, it's valuable info, but not really enough for each (cept Null) to carry its own page. |

The Dragon Gods are a racial pantheon of Gods in Dungeons & Dragons who, as their name suggests, focus their attention squarely on looking after dragons. This has caused them to be fairly minor figures; in comparison to the Morndinsamman or the Seldarine, the draconic faiths rarely come up during the game, since dragons generally aren't very religious (that would require accepting that something is more powerful than them). As a result, only the gods Bahamut and Tiamat have gained any real traction, since they have expanded their portfolio and interests beyond simply appealing to dragons. Though Hlal is noted as actively seeking to gain popularity with other races.
The Dragon Gods first appeared in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons in Monster Mythology, with the Forgotten Realms splatbook Cult of the Dragon looking into the draconic pantheon as worshipped on Faerun. They were updated to 3rd edition in the Draconomicon, and have languished in obscurity ever since.
