Astilabor Astilabor ( pronounced " As - TIL - uh - bore " ) was the neutral dragon goddess of acquisitiveness and wealth . She represented the draconic desire to acquire and treasure wealth and by doing so gain status , and so she was , in a way , the archetype of dragonkind . Description . Astilabor usually manifested as a huge dragon that shimmered with all the chromatic and metallic colors of dragonkind . Realm . Astilabor ' s home plane was unknown , but she was reputed to have a lair hidden somewhere in the plane of Limbo that contained more wealth than that found on all the planets of Realmspace . Worshipers . Astilabor was revered by dragons of all kinds but actively worshiped by few . She was also worshiped by draconic humanoids and by those who sought to increase their wealth . However , even those dragons that only paid lip service to her engraved her holy symbol on their hoards as a protective ward . Dragons who worshiped Astilabor sometimes promised a share of their gains to the deity if she helped them in their ventures , but never sacrificed what they had promised to her , as they believed Astilabor would lose her respect for them if they gave up their wealth so easily . Astilabor ' s worshipers were friendly toward those of Moradin and Garl Glittergold , as those gods respected the value of material wealth such as coin s and gem s . However , they distrusted the followers of gods of mischief and thieves , as they believed they were thieves at heart . Clergy . Astilabor accepted only clerics with an element of neutrality in their alignment , as they had to remain pure in their goal of acquiring and increasing hoards , and then protecting their treasures . Her clerics also abstained from getting involved in the conflicts of other other dragons , and had a habit of rewarding those who had accumulated a large and valuable hoard . Temples . Temples to Astilabor were generally grand structures that were secure and well protected . The lavish furnishings and accoutrements were typically objects loaned to the temple by the congregation , as her worshipers struggled between the need to add to their own hoards and their desire to honor their deity . A temple might have elaborate platinum candlesticks and wall sconces provided by one dragon and cloth - of - gold wall hangings provided by another . The ownership of each item was always made clear , using a particular means characteristic of the owner . Dogma . Astilabor valued wealth and power , but she disliked greed and disapproved of Tiamat ' s naked display of it . Astilabor instilled in dragonkind the innate need for collecting and protecting a hoard , and on few and very rare occasions , Astilabor herself granted boons from her personal hoard to those who had pleased her . While she claimed that she disapproved of theft of any kind from her worshipers , she often turned a blind eye if such acts were performed in the name of increasing personal hoards . Rites . Most of Astilabor ' s rites involved a group of supplicants ( some of those supplicants being typical adventuring parties ) seeking to gain more wealth . If a worshiper did something that had offended her , the treasures gained by their quest were usually turned over to one of her temples . Prayers to Astilabor were often performed while her supplicants counted their hoards . A typical prayer was " All this gold belongs to me . May I add to my riches tenfold , tenfold times . " Relationships . Astilabor ' s allies included dragons , half - dragon s , and other draconic creatures . Although some of those allies had celestial or fiendish lineage , all of Astilabor ' s allies always had a neutral component to their alignment .
