Sardior Sardior ( pronounced " SAR - dee - or " ) was the dragon god of night , psionics , and secrets , and he was also the Master of gem dragon s . Description . Sardior was said to be a unique ruby dragon . In his natural form , he had a long and sinewy body covered with deep ruby red scales . At a distance , he was often mistaken for an ancient red dragon , but his playful demeanor soon betrayed his true self . He was also reputed to be a great conversationalist , and many who met him were unprepared for his sharp wit . Realm . Sardior ' s demesne was a huge floating castle , which orbited the world and always lay in the shadows from the sun . On the nights it was seen , viewers often mistook it for a small red moon . Periodically , Sardior moved his fortress through the planes , visiting the djinni Citadel of Ice and Steel . Worshipers . Sardior was worshiped by neutral dragons , psion s , and psychic warrior s . He didn ' t require much from his followers , and didn ' t try to guide their decisions . Gem dragons , in return , viewed him as an ideal and strove to be more like him . Sardior was always happy when he granted spells and special abilities to his followers . Clergy . Sardior had very few clerics . They usually dressed in the appropriate fashion for the area in which they resided , and then embellished the look with an abundance of jewelry in their everyday wear . Many sought out his clerics as sources of knowledge , as most of his followers were considered sages on various subjects . The temples gained their wealth by charging for these services . The prominent members of his temples also had social functions . They were personable , knowledgeable , and great storytellers . They showed little interest in politics , which made those around them less concerned with the information they revealed to the clergy . Sardior ' s clergy was welcomed everywhere much as bards were . A small group of his clergy , known as the ruby disciples , trained to be a martial arm of the church , serving not only as a defense but also as a show of force . Temples . As he wasn ' t as old as the other members of the draconic pantheon , having ascended to the status of lesser deity in relatively modern times , temples to Sardior were fewer than even his clerics . Temples dedicated to the Ruby Dragon were usually located in high areas that allowed clear views of the night sky but were close to a community of some sort . Most gem dragons kept a ruby on a small pedestal in their lairs as a shrine to him . Relationships . Sardior kept a court of five thanes , one for each of the various breeds of gem dragons . They were Aleithilithos ( an amethyst dragon ) , Hrodel ( a crystal dragon ) , Smargad ( an emerald dragon ) , Charisma ( a sapphire dragon ) , and Tithonnas ( a topaz dragon ) . Sardior once had a sixth thane , Seradess , ( a obsidian dragon ) , but he destroyed her and banished the obsidian dragons from his court . Even his own clergy didn ' t know the exact reason behind this decision . Appendix . Notes . Although there is no mention of Sardior in specific " Realms " products , according to Ed Greenwood he was worshiped as a god on the " Realms " .
