Sardior, also known as Abzu, is a Lesser God of Knowledge and Trickery, and the Ruby King of Gem Dragons. He was shattered sometime in Prehistory and nearly forgotten to history until being resurrected in 826 PR. He presides over his Ruby Court, a royal court of five Thanes each representing a different type of Gem Dragon.
Ruby Court
The Ruby Court consists of five court seats, each representing a different gem type. The Gem Dragons who occupy seats on the court are called Thanes. Sardior transforms his Thanes to enhance their size, strength, and power for the purposes of serving him, and to ensure they are each the unrivaled paragons of their gem types. Other roles can also exist as part of the court, such as Advisors (close friends and consultants of the court), Harbingers (able to sit in for their gem type at court meetings when their Thane is not available) and Knights (warriors and protectors of the court).
Traditionally, the five court seats have been filled by an Amethyst, Crystal, Emerald, Sapphire, and Topaz. However, it would also be possible for an Obsidian or some other wild cards of gemkind to hold positions on the court, given they were in the right place at the right time.
