Tiamat (PRONOUNCED: /TI-AMAT/) is the goddess of the Primordial Chaos and Dragons. Before entering the pantheon of Ardús, she was a member of the Sumerian pantheon of earth. She is said to be the creator of humans, dragons, and all the gods after she fell to Ardús. Following her death at the hands of Marduk the goddess sought to watch over her own creation. She does not recall her time before entering Ardûs, but the hatred she bore prior to death never released the goddess. And soon, her hatred festered into a desire to corrupt and destroy, and Tiamat unleashed a wrathful vengeance upon all life and the gods.
The symbol of Tiamat depicts a three-headed dragon. Tiamat is the eternal rival of her offspring Tanurak, the dragon god of law and time.
Description
Personality
Realm
Tiamat's home plane, The Dragon Aerie, was created as a place to spawn her monsters and dragon brood before unleashing them upon Ardûs. It also later became an impenetrable sanctuary following her failed war against the gods and creation. The Dragon Aerie is a desolate plane of jagged mountains and floating islands. A deep red haze is visible only vaguely through the torrential dust storms which batter the skies and landscape of this plane. Although not confirmed, some scholars believe that The Dragon Aerie is but one of the many Hells.
Relationships
Worshipers
Many dragons, of all alignments, have worshiped Tiamat since they were first birthed on Ardûs.
Clergy
Of all worshipers of Tiamat, only the truly evil-aligned who would seek to further her goals of placing the world under her dominion may receive her gifts.
The church and clergy of Tiamat are comprised of a secretive and strict hierarchy. Tasked with spreading their influence, sabotaging other faiths, and reviving the bloodlines of pure Elder Dragons, clerics of Tiamat are especially adept at the art of diplomacy and information gathering. Her clerics actively hunt good-aligned dragons and kill any evil dragons who disavow the Mother of Dragons.
