Draconiz, Aspect of Nature. Lord of the skies and nature, Draconiz may appear in a humanoid form as either an aarakocra or dragonborn, in all manner of vibrant colours. Some misguided individuals depict him as a half-dragon. When seen in his real form, he appears as a gigantic dark dragon with prismatic wings.
Most dragonborn revere Draconiz as their creator, and many captains and griffon riders might say a small prayer to Draconiz for good fortune on their journey. His holy symbol is a dragon's head in profile, a symbol of his might.
The deities, Draconiz and Emissary, have a long and complicated relationship and often avoid each other for reasons that are unknown to mortal people.
The followers of Draconiz value strength above all else. Break down the door, smash the frame into pieces, and do not waver in your resolve for even a moment. In groups, followers of the dragon are unstoppable, a force to be reckoned with, and as powerful as an army even in small numbers.
They hold no value in being great thinkers or scholars, instead, they pride themselves in shows of power and brawn. Secondly, a follower of Draconiz feels ill at home in a city, often instead favoring smaller settlements or natural settings. Though they are great in number, they can often be found congregated in secluded locations. Also friends of beasts and the skies, the followers favor animals and travel.
To gain the favor of Draconiz, a follower can consider the following.
- Protecting a glade; as most followers prefer not to live in cities, they favor whichever secluded area they can find.
- Exacting vengeance for a significant wrong done to you, usually with a show of strength.
- Helping preserve the balance of power in any natural setting.
- Winning a great feat of strength or skill.
- Defeating a creature that has stepped out of its place, especially powerful aberrations.
- Healing a sick or injured wild animal. True followers of Draconiz do not hunt for sport, but only when necessary.
