Dragon Domain Clerics of the dragon domain are rare outside of dragonkind, for the gods of the domain are all draconic in nature and thus often heedless to petty humanoid affairs. Nevertheless, some non-dragons take up the draconic cause, often through identifying with the other virtues of the god in question. Both Bahamut and Tiamat offer this domain, as do Sardior, Io, and the various greatwyrms often worshipped as dragon gods such as Aasterinian, Lendys, Tamara, Garyx, and Nathair Sgiathach. Outside of the Draconic “Pantheon”, deities that offer this domain include Apep of the fantasy-historical pantheons and the Earth Dragon of the Greyhawk setting. Additionally, while not clerics of gods per se, venerators of Eberron’s Progenitor Dragons and students of its Draconic Prophecy can use this domain as well.
