Sardior is the draconic deity of Neutral Dragons, Night, Psionics, and Secrets. His symbol is a ruby with an inner glow.
Description
Sardior appears as a long sinewy dragon covered with deep ruby red scales and a playful expression. He is also a great conversationalist with a quick wit.
Relationships
Sardior is served by five thanes, each representing a breed of gem dragon. They are Aleithilithos (male amethyst dragon), Hrodel (female crystal dragon), Smargad (male emerald dragon), Charsima (female sapphire dragon), and Tithonnas (male topaz dragon). Seradess, an obsidian dragon, once served as a sixth thane, but Sardior destroyed her and banished her obsidian kin from his court. The exact reason is unclear, even among Sardior's own clergy.
Realm
Sardior's realm is a huge floating castle, which orbits the world in the Material Plane and stays forever in the shadows from the sun. On the nights it can be seen, viewers mistake Sardior's lair for a small red moon.
Periodically, Saridor moves his fortress through the planes, visiting the djinni Citadel of Ice and Steel and Jazirian's realm of Uroboros on its journeys.
Dogma
As the Master of the Gem Dragons, Sardior does not require much from his followers, nor does he try to guide their decisions. The gem dragons look upon Sardior as the draconic ideal and strive to be more like him.
Worshippers
Sardior is worshipped by neutral dragons, psions, and psychic warriors. Most gem dragons keep a ruby on a pedastal as a shrine to Sardior.
Clergy
Sardior's clergy are few. The Ruby Dragon's favored weapon is the claw.
Temples
Temples to Sardior are rarer than even his clerics. The Ruby Dragon's temples tend to be near a community of some sort, and are often found in high areas which allow clear views of the night sky.
