Dragon Domain
Dragon gods like Bahamut, Tiamat and Garyx all have different goals, and they order their clerics to fulfill these goals. These gods are usually associated with other domains too. The dragon gods usually give you a Dragon Protector, who you share your magical energy with. Most clerics never meet their protector, but when they do, both of the cleric's and the dragon's powers increase immensely.
