Tiamat (tee-uh-MAHT, tee-uh-MAT)

the Scaled Tyrant

The evil queen of dragons is a fearsome god of greed, envy, and hoarded wealth. While chromatic dragons are her clearest worshipers, the Scaled Tyrant accepts the worship of all who love wealth over all things—except the queen of dragons herself, of course. All chromatic dragons have a reverence for their tyrannical queen, but many dragons of near-deific power and ambition chafe under her rule. Her worship has for centuries been limited to chromatic dragons by these zealous paladins, but sects of mortal dragon-worshipers have been appearing across Ardyn ever since the end of the Scourging.
Realm: Tiamat remains imprisoned in Avernus, the first of the Nine Hells, influencing the souls of chromatic dragons across the planes and seeking the means to free herself.
Depiction: Most visual representations of the Scaled Tyrant exist as a warning within sanctuaries of the Platinum Dragon. She is often shown as a drake of frightful size, massive leathery wings birthing clouds of poisonous mist with every flight, while she shouts from five vicious dragon heads, each head depicting a different chromatic color of her evil children
Enemies: Tiamat’s hatred for Bahamut is as old as the Founding, and her cults are ever hunted by his justice.

Tenets of Faith

• Amass wealth, but spend little. The gold—and the power that comes with it—is sufficient reward in itself.
• Do not forgive nor forget an indignity to yourself. Let no affront go unpunished.
• Take what you covet. Those without the strength to defend their dominion are not worthy to have one.
