What's the status of Bahamut on the server timeline?

[SP00K_E]

There was not a single mention of Bahamut in the Gods of the Realms lore thread. Is Bahamut considered to be a god on the server's timeline? I know his followers are primarily metallic dragons but I wanted to make a Silver Dragon Warrior and had trouble finding any information on Bahamut in relation to the server.

Note that I wouldn't be following him as a divine caster class so that's no problem, purely a martial build.

Bahamut, the Lord of the North Wind and God of all Dragons is currently (1351 DR) a Celestial Paragon.

As a Celestial Paragon Bahamut has worshipers and is able to grant them spells. A celestial paragon is a divine rank one step below a lesser deity and is the same as a Demi-Deity. It is the Celestial equivalent of an Archfiend.

Up until around 1347 DR Bahamut was an entity practically unheard of on the Sword Coast and the rest of Faerun. However, because of Tiamat's re-appearance in 1346 DR the Platinum Dragon has been slowly rebuilding his presence. Including the recruitment of new humanoid faithful, among them humans. One of Bahamut's first acts was to commence an investigation of the site of Tiamat's re-appearance: Baldur's Gate. A very small number of his faithful have visited the City in the years since that time but they have not announced themselves or established any [public] shrines or temples.

Bahamut's re-emergence is not unknown to Tiamat and the fact that his agents visited Baldur's Gate was expected. However, this has not led to any known conflicts. Neither Tiamat's and Bahamut's faithful have been notable sources of trouble since 1346 DR. Tiamat's return caused quite a stir around the Sword Coast, particularly in Cormyr.

It is rumored that King Azoun IV of Cormyr is considering granting a charter of faith to Bahamut's clergy, promising them safety and the right to establish a temple in Suzail. Among those knowledgeable on Cormyr this is a popular rumor as portions of Draconic lore are part of the Purple Dragon Kingdom's history and Bahamut was therefore never entirely forgotten.

Azoun the IVth's Court has indicated that a decision is yet to be made on the charter because a group of nobles has submitted a number of objections. It not publicly known what the objections are, or who the nobles are, but the common assumption is that it has to do with either Suzail's Temple politics or with Nobles afraid to see their real-estate value decline. It is expected that the Royal Court shall reach its decision some time in 1352 DR.

As someone whose main character used to be a faithful of Bahamut until Duty called him elsewhere...

I must refute the lack of shrines! Although said Shrine is pretty much a private shrine, it is still known to the Earthfasts clan of silver dragons known as "Silverstone" and some Dragon Warriors of the Sword Coast.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but was curious about this.

Wasn't Bahamut an option for Deity at character creation previously? I dont see it anymore and dont know if I am mistaken.
