History
The oddest relationship and the most ancient and storied one in all the history of The Planescape, the relationship between Tiamat and her eternal rival and partner Bahamut is one told throughout the ages as one of tragedy and unfortunate circumstance...and betrayal. Contrary to many who hear of their old relationship, Tiamat and Bahamut were said to have come into being not quite at the same time, but as the result of Bahamut himself splitting his primordial essence. Due to his massive, immense, and overwhelming portfolio in the beginning of all things, Bahamut wished to separate the evil, brutal, and pragmatic side of his essence to better align himself to good...and in doing so, created Tiamat, one half of his divine essence and eternal bonded partner to him. The two were surprisingly close, and they were the original inspiration behind the concept of Yin and Yang...two opposing forces which balance each other out, eternally intertwined...and now, eternally separated, after her betrayal and death at the hands of his fellow gods, who saw her as a threat to existence.
History
As the architect of Tiamat's downfall, Asmodeus is the creature responsible for the downfall of Bahamut's other half, the Chromatic Queen...supposedly having betrayed his former ally in a bid to rid himself of the only creature to truly ever threaten his dominion over The Nine Hells, Asmodeus was said to have persuaded the other Major Gods of the danger of Tiamat's continued existence...that while she was balancing out Bahamut, the threat of allowing her to continue her dominion of evil and chromatic dragons and tyranny itself might one day lead to a greater threat to the planescape than the likes of Vvaal, The Bound Obliterator himself. And so came Tiamat's downfall...at the hands of the other gods, she was yoked, and a divine spell was cast by the gods who did so to wipe her name from the minds of all who followed her...thus obliterating her faith and causing her to fade from power and reality altogether. With his better half gone, Bahamut flew into a mournful rage that would not cease for millennia, and was said to be the direct cause for his ascension to becoming a War God, driven by the wrath of betrayal that saw his mate slain...and without Tiamat to curb his over idealistic goodness, he soon became a force for absolute goodly law in the Planescape whose tyranny at times could rival Asmodeus himself. After her death and vanishing, Tiamat was posthumously inducted into the ranks of The Anathema Gods at the insistence of Asmodeus himself, with whom the Major Gods begrudgingly agreed.
History
A relationship mostly shrouded in myths, rumors, and half-truths, little is known of the true relationship between Tiamat and The Greedqueen....though she did not appear until some time after Tiamat's betrayal and subsequent vanishing, many of The Greenqueen's followers tell a myriad of tales regarding her origins. Some tell she stole Tiamat's divinity as she was betrayed, and thus ascended to godhood and stole Tiamat's followers...others still say she is simply a shard of The Chromatic Queen, who inherited the hoard of her original form and the bottomless greed that saw her betrayed. Whatever the truth may be, it shall likely never be known.
Tiamat. Bahamut's whore. The greediest, most avaricious devil-dragon that ever existed...she was awful in every sense of the word, but did that big platinum fool do anything about her? No. Because they were lovers. Good riddance to her. Asmodeus is better management, anyway.
