Nuitari is the god of magic, specifically regarding the use for personal power. In the aftermath of the All-Saints War, it was decided as part of the peace accord that that each would have an influence over magic.The gods good and neutrality ushered in their children, while Sargonnas and Takhisis spawned Nuitari whom they fought over. According to the myth, Takhisis forced Sargonnas to bear the birth of Nuitari gestation in a great golden egg. When the time came for it birth, Takhisis came and fought Sargonnas for control. In the end, the young deity was almost destroyed. In his true form he is pale, his voice horse from the struggle of his parents, and body almost worse from neglect. Never the lease, Takhisis still saw his use. Also during this time, the Greygem was created with the essence of Ionthus. Who in eons would unleash magic into the world.

He was appointed to oversee magic, and its use for the application for evil. He was partnered with the other gods of magic, whom he quickly grew close to. His cousins, Solinari is the champion for the gods of god and Lunitari is the champion for the gods of neutrality. They soon decided that magic should be above the petty squabbles of the gods as they sought to abuse and control it. They formed a pact with each other to all remain true magic itself. However, several things on Krynn threatened this balance. The Greygem was released from it's location and soon spread uncontrolled magic throughout the world. The second were the Dragon Wars which threatened the world itself. Seeing that the gods and their followers abused magic, in addition to threat of sorcery, they instructed their followers to enact a ritual that would create the moons of Krynn sometime at the end of the First Dragon War. The moons themselves allowed the gods greater control over the influence of magic and they began to spread the ways of wizardry among the people.
He does his best to make sure the gods of evil do not abuse magic, but Sargonnas and Takhisis at times have forced Nuitari to agree to their terms and have even held the gods hostage at time.

Nuitari took the dark moon, the smallest and closest to Krynn. The moon itself is ebon in color and revolves around Krynn every 8 days. It can only be seen by those with evil hearts or those who draw upon magic. On the moon, Nuitari has a private tower which he watches Krynn from. The moon both exists in the prime material plane and the ethereal plane. Few expeditions have been attempted, but it is a a harsh place that is seeming devoid of animal life. The rock here is dark, and the few plants here are dark green mosses and sparse dark green trees. The few inhabitants on the physical moon are usually stranded there, and what life forms thought to have been observed are ooze like creatures. Nuitari's domain on the ethereal landscape is dominated by the tower which is rarely seen.
