Is your player character a descendant of a deity? (Part 2)


An important event happened at the creation of my D&D campaign world, a variant of the world of Toril otherwise known as the Forgotten Realms.  A Celestial and an adult Silver Dragon fell in love and then had a child that over many years became Lord Apex, the God of good dragons.  The previous God of good dragons died in a battle against evil.

And then, over many centuries, Lord Apex fell in love and then married many mortal women of many different species.  Lord Apex said that his children are as beautiful as the Moon and as bright as the Stars.  Thus, he named his family’s last name Moon-Star.

All members of the Moon-Star extended family have trace amounts of Celestial and Silver Dragon in themselves.  Therefore, Lord Apex considers all (player character and non-player character) members of the Moon-Star family - regardless of species - as part of his extended family tree.  If politely and respectfully asked, Lord Apex will give what he considers the correct amount of aid and/or apprenticeship to any members of his extended family.

Lord Apex lives in a celestial plane palace that has a very large school for adventurers who train to fight against evil.  Graduating from this school allows player characters an edge in being hired for jobs.
