This castle, built entirely from Bahamut’s enormous treasure hoard, with walls made of mithral that reflected the eternal light of Celestia like a beacon on the horizon, and with windows composed of huge gemstones inlaid in silver and gold, was protected by Bahamut’s seven gold great wyrms.īahamut was able to move his castle between the first four layers of Celestia at will. However, Bahamut’s Palace was actually located on the plane of Celestia. Myths claimed that the great fortified castle that Bahamut called home was somewhere “behind the east wind,” and many scholars believed Bahamut’s castle was located on the Elemental Plane of Air. When he wished to wander the mortal world, he usually took the appearance of an old human dressed in peasant robes. As Xymor, he was described as a huge dragon wrapped in a scintillating aura of light so brilliant that it was impossible to tell his color.

In his natural form, Bahamut was a massive dragon (approx 180 feet (55m) long) with a tail the same length as his body, with platinum scales tougher than any shield and blue eyes, the exact color of which was hard to specify and may have depended on Bahamut’s mood. He was also the eternal rival of his sister Tiamat, queen of the chromatic dragons. His natural form was that of a platinum dragon, said by many to be the only one of his kind. For some time he was also a member of the Untheric pantheon, under the alias of Marduk.

Before entering the Faerûnian pantheon, he was a member of the Draconic pantheon, as a deity of good dragons, metallic dragons, wisdom, and enlightened justice (justice tempered with mercy and punishment with forgiveness) known by the name of Xymor (pronounced ZIE-more).

Bahamut (pronounced bah- HAHM-ut) was the dragon god of justice and a subservient deity to Torm, god of law.
