Bahamut in the World Tree cosmology?
Both the House of the Triad and Celestial paragon articles state or imply that Bahamut's residence within the World Tree cosmology was in the House of the Triad, and also the Dragon Eyrie, but without giving sources. I could not find that in the Player's Guide to Faerûn. Does anyone know where this information comes from? Thanks! Daranios (talk) 20:06, November 18, 2019 (UTC)


 * The FRCS just says that the Dragon Eyrie is the home of the dragon pantheon (p. 258), which includes Bahamut. I think the House of the Triad home is an extrapolation of his time as Marduk, who's home was in Arcadia. Many deities that were in planes that disappeared in 3e moved to the House of the Triad, but I haven't found anything that says Bahamut did. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 21:42, November 18, 2019 (UTC)


 * The information may be a poor attempt at fusing 4e with earlier editions. Bahamut is implied to be placed in one of the three mountains circling Mount Celestia in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide, which matches how the House of the Triad is described in Player's Guide to Faerûn.


 * 2e placed Bahamut in Mercuria, which is in Celestia, which in the World Tree cosmology is within the House of the Triad.

 * Hmm, but the only deities officially listed as the draconic pantheon within the World Tree cosmology in Faiths and Pantheons and the Player's Guide to Faerûn are Hlal, Null, Task and Tiamat, right? Which is of course in conflict to the other editions. So should we restrict ourselves to that information (listing the Core information for 3rd edition for e.g. Bahamut, like this article does now), or infer with the help of other edition's information, or ...? Thanks again for input! Daranios (talk) 20:41, November 19, 2019 (UTC)


 * As far as I know, all sources list Bahamut living in Celestia. Even in his Xymor incarnation, according to the 2e Draconomicon.--Zero X (talk) 00:34, November 20, 2019 (UTC)

New book
So the entire draconic pantheon is going to need to be redone on as of this new book.Heartlesslove93 (talk) 04:34, 7 November 2021 (UTC)


 * No, we are an edition-agnostic wiki. All editions are canon. The new book provides an alternative mythology, which we will cover, but that it no way negates decades-old, already-established lore and myth. Any DM is allowed to use whichever pantheon details and myths she wishes. ~ Lhynard (talk) 04:49, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
