Tiamat
Tiamat is the Zamrudi Goddess of Chaos. She represents the more chaotic and individualistic aspects of the Deities of the Evergreen Realms. Tiamat is the goddess of greed and envy. Known as The Chromatic Dragon, legend states that Tiamat was born when the dragon god Io was split in half, the other god created in this process being her brother Bahamut. She is the mother of the evil chromatic dragons. Her followers, both dragon and non-dragon, are encouraged to conquer as much land and hoard as much wealth as they can. Few dragons keep shrines to her in their lairs for fear she will demand part of their treasure hoard.
Divine Domains
Tiamat represents the domains of Scheming, Treachery, Secrets, Trickery, Justice, Destruction, War, Greed, Envy, Death, Fate, Darkness, Poison and Winter. Tiamat embodies the jealousy and greed of the chromatic dragons, and she is primarily concerned with spreading evil and propagating the chromatic dragons as a species. She holds grudges and never forgives slights. She demands reverence and tribute from her subjects. Blue and green dragons obey her most readily, and kobolds are also known to worship her.
Tenets of Faith
Tiamat's priests are known as Wyrmkeepers or Wyrmlairds, and are usually very self interested evil. Her church has a very rigid hierarchy, and her priests are often preoccupied with undermining other faiths and hoarding vast amounts of wealth. Her temples are often built in the lairs of deceased dragons and are filled with piles of gold and silver to be offered to her, as well as traps to deter the unfaithful.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
The Chromatic Dragon can appear as a beautiful human female wearing a red dress and jewellery, but her true form is a terrifying wrym with five heads, each the head of one of the five chromatic dragons (black, red, blue, green and white). Each of these heads can use the breath weapon that is associated with that type of dragon. Her body is a blend of each of the five different chromatic dragon scale colours, and has a long tail with a poisonous stinger.
