Thank you.

Dying of old age, Tamara’s status as an icon of metallic dragonkind never skipped a beat and it was not long before Bahamut, on his deathbed, passed on his title as the God of Good Dragokind to he

Not canon, not a deity on Amia.

Yes I know but it doesn't mean that she doesn't exist at all right?

If you haven't seen it already: Tamara, as per Races of the Dragon

Thank you very much. Now I am intrested if she is Draconic races only or other races may worship her aswell? For I was looking for a perfect deity for my toon and I have chosen Tamara over all others.

It's possible to worship deities of other races, but it makes no sense whatsoever. People don't select patrons by picking up a Catalogue of Gods, reading their dogmas and then picking whatever seems philosophically fitting. They worship whoever is worshipped in their family, village, nation or culture (depending on how educated they are, I guess). It doesn't take much more than the realization of "I'm a good guy, Lathander is a good guy, there's a temple of Lathander next door so I can join the clergy" to pick a patron. Then, you learn about the faith and try to adjust. People generally don't/can't become clergy without contact with other clergy, either. (But I suppose it's not impossible.)

So I guess you can worship a dragon god, but it's good to remember that you don't have to, even if it fits your PC's personality. It's not poor RP to choose a patron that doesn't 100% reflect your PC's beliefs, because that's the norm.

How do you become a cleric anyway? Do you just go to cleric school?

Or paladin.

Yeah. You join a temple, and your superiors teach you. That's the norm, though I suppose there are individuals with more unique histories. But in general, the very point of religious RP, stressed in most FR sources regarding clerics, is that you're not a lone individual; you're part of the church, and that imposes certain hierarchies and duties on you. You have a superior in the faith, even if you're out in the world adventuring and furthering your god's influence.

I know what Iron said is true. Heck Shada was going to be a pure fighter in my head orginally, then she met Liam Roe ((before he went evil)) learnt about Salandra, and got taught how to be a cleric. As well as, this is why Nik'ta is a Templar and not a paladin, she has had training from Jack, and thats about it, besides her self training with the sword. I guess that explains why shes not a good sally as others.

You don't have to join the temple. For example my pally Celebril approached Yaston and asked him about the ways of the Knight and than asked if he knows anyone who would have time to be his sire. And now Yaston is Celebril's sire.

That is one of the ways. But being religious is not nececarilly connected with that.

Considering Tamara isn't a god yet, you couldn't be a cleric or paladin of Tamara. You could be a cleric or paladin of Bahamut (And there are humans/elves/non-dragons that do), that believe Tamara is the ideal Bahamutian though.

Lesser Deity

Tamara is the kindest and most benevolent of the draconic deities...

...Tamara’s clerics are healers, but also deliverers of death to those who would escape it. They prefer to destroy any undead they encounter, particularly draconic undead (such as dracoliches).

...Her priests are often seen wearing golden bands on their left arm. Like their patron deity, tamaran priests are kind and benevolent, with a particular emphasis on snuffing out prejudice wherever they encounter it.

Achmodeus is not deity on Amia but he is still having his worshippers and he is still Lord of the Nine.

thats different he is not a god, he is a very powerfull fiend, and the lords of the nine is in fearun, i belive theres a big fight between him and bahamut in 4th edition.

Asmodeus is part of the Realms pre-1374, which is where Amia is based. This deity apparently is not.

I generally don't even check online sources for lore, unless it's the WotC site or Candlekeep. Until someone can tell me the page numbers in a canon book, I'll consider it non-existant.

a very good point

, totally understandable, i think personally people should stick to faith and pantheons when choosing gods...they are the only ones that makes sense for none monsters
