Oh you poor misguided friend haha, she is actually a queen of chromatic dragons. Think about it, how more evil could it get being an evil dragon goddess queen! (I mean, look at disney! there's not too many evil kings are there?)

I have played quite a bit of Dungeon & Dragons. But the people I've been playing with has never brought Tiamat in, in any way, so I'd say I am a bit excused :P

There is just one thing that doesn't make sense to me: Tiamat is a dragon with five heads, each head having its own element, right - and to that, a colour for each head.

Then how can she be the queen of Chromatic dragons? Don't make much sense to me.

Actually chromatic dragons each have their own element (represented in their breathe weapon attack) and this is exactly why they are evil. Contrary to metallic dragons, chromatic dragons are elements unleashed in chaos, they conflict because of power. So, Tiamat, bearing the head of all 5 evil dragons is a perfect representation of all in one, yet separate enough to conflict with each other; contrary to Bahamut, god of metallic dragons, who is a perfect melding of all metals. That's what I beleive at least lol

well, at least it makes sense for Tiamat to hate Bahamut and opposite as well when they practically are polar opposites :P

omg! Epic :D I'm not huge into D&D, but I know a bit about its deities, and Tiamat may very well be my fave. I LOVE the concept they had of making her a "hydra" of evil dragons :la:

Thanks for the comment, I'm not into D&D per se, just the miniatures and the lore, it is very aesthetic, at least in my opinion. She has to be one of my favourite deities as well
Thanks again!

Yeah, I'd have to say the same. For somemone who has never played the game, I actually looked into the lore and whatnot quite a bit too ^^

You're welcome :hug:
