Divine Domains
Domination, Trickery
- Tiamat wants wealth and power. She will use cunning lies, honeyed words, and half truths to get what she desires. Her greed for power and domination knows no bounds and thus is among her most favored of domains.
Revenge
- Tiamat much like her white dragon children will never forget a sleight against her. She will stew in her anger and hatred for the wrongdoer until her time for vengeance comes.
Holy Books & Codes
Tiamat has no holy books, but the reason for this is unknown. It is believed that she may have lost most of her writing during the cataclym. The sparse records of her holy book describes it as being printed on gold and encrusted with a large variety of gemstones. It was likely destroyed by treasure hunters who dismantled it in order to get access to the many treasures used to create the texts.

Tenets of Faith
Give homage and tribute to your queen
-
Our queen demands proper wealth and worship, for she is the savior of the realm and its rightful ruler. However she is a jealous goddess and does not care for those who see her as anything less. Send unto her your riches, and sacrifices, for you will be rewarded in her coming reign.
The Gods are tyrannical and only your Queen can defy and over throw their despotic rule.
-
The Gods are despots that only crave power at any cost. The Queen shall one day overthrow their rule and banish them to the gaps. Follow her commands without question and be willing to sacrifice yourself for her. Her plan requires power which only wealth and magic can help her acquire.
Honor and venerate the Spawn of your Queen
-
When The Day of The Drake comes her chromatic offspring shall act as her ambassadors and mortal vessels. They are her perfect offspring and shall be treated as a part of her. Give unto them a portion of your tributes, and aid them in their plans. For The Day of The Drake is coming, and they will remember your reverence or lack thereof.
Holidays
Queen’s Tithe
-
The 3rd of the Month of Winds
-
3/3
- Every third day of the week, Nast, the followers of Tiamat meet to send tribute in the form of treasures to Tiamat. The treasures are usually burnt, melted, or otherwise destroyed in order to send homage and honor to their queen. But on the first Nast of the Month of winds, a great ceremony known as the Queen’s Tithe is held. Living sacrifices are sent to Tiamat, along with a great accumulation of material wealth as well. In communities that live close to a chromatic dragon, further sacrifices and tribute is given to them as well in order to pay proper homage to her children as well. The night is spent feasting so that they may celebrate another year of prosperity and another year closer to the eventual overthrowing of the gods.
With this tithe Oh Great Mother, we bring you homage. Let this be used to grant you strength, so you may one day overthrow the tyrants of the upper planes. We look forward to your victory and the coming Day of the Dragon.
Divine Goals & Aspirations
Tiamat pursues her goal of overthrowing the other gods of the pantheon, and claiming her rightful place as sole ruler over the realm. She is eternally opposed to her brother Bahamut, as well as Kord.
