Falazure is the Dragon God of Enervation, Undeath and Necromancy in Dungeons & Dragons.
This terrible draconic deity, said to resemble either a decaying, skeletal dracolich or a superannuated black dragon with the flesh pulled tight over his bones, is one of the most popular draconic deities amongst non-draconic races, inferior only to Bahamut and Tiamat. He preaches the pursuit of immortality, noting that even dragons may die, but undeath never ends. He is generally held up as the creator of the dracolich, as well as their lesser kinsfolk the vampire dragons and ghost dragons.
Dracoliches, naturally, are his perimary worshippers, but intelligent undead and necromancers of any race tend to revere him. Transformation into an undead creature is seen as a holy quest, whilst his rites invariably revolve around the creation of the undead.
Temples to Falazure are hidden in deep underground caverns, and prayers are made every evening and midnight. Prayers to the Night Dragon celebrate death and decay; "When night comes, let me wake from the sleep" and "Let me die and be reborn in undeath" are common invocations amongst the faithful.
His allies are dragon and dragonblood necromancers and undead dragons of all sorts, whilst his herald is either a 16th level Half-Dragon necromancer with Black Dragon ancestry or a vampire black dragon.
It goes without saying that pretty much every goodly-aligned church out there hates Falazure's church.
