The Ptarian Order is a religious order of Bahamut devoted that seek to emulate the ancient Talons of Justice, and is named after their Ptarian Code.

== Dogma ==
Bahamut's dogma is based on the principles of Justice, Law, and Fairness. He taught his followers to always uphold the highest ideals of the principles; to be constantly vigilant against evil and to oppose it from all fronts; and to protect the weak, liberate the oppressed, and defend just order. Bahamut advocated a "greater justice" that included fighting against evil and toppling oppressive regimes.

The Ptarian Code was initially created by the gold dragon Ptaris, and followed by Bahamut's dragon adepts. It reads:
*Justice and Good above all.
*Protection and Respect to the Righteous Innocence
*Honor and Duty to the Justicemaker
*Honor and Protection to the Lesser Races
*Honor and Correction to the Enemies of Justice and Good
*Honor and Forbearance to Oneself.

The code by itself is largely remained much the same after its adoption as the Order's core tenants.
