Nathair Sgiathach

Nathair Sgiathach

The Eternal Wyrmling, the Prankster, the Grin Without a Dragon. CG Intermediate power of mischief, faerie dragons and pseudodragons [He/Him]

Pantheon: Sylvan, Draconic

Symbol: A smile

Realm: Feywild / The Caves of Night

Sometimes considered the least of Io’s children, Nathair Sgiathach (pronounced NA-hair SHKEE-hack) is a whimsical and playful god who inhabits the Caves of Night, a starlit domain of the Feywild filled with trees and grass that seem to thrive despite the apparently subterranean environment.

The patron of pseudodragons and faerie dragons, Nathair Sgiathach is a prankster whose well-meaning instigation causes merry chaos among the Seelie Court to the delight of Titania and the grudging chuckles of Oberon. Though he has limited recourse should something calamitous occur, the Eternal Wyrmling also keeps an eye on the dealings of Bahamut and Tiamat to ensure they never threaten the Feywild.
