Tiamat

Tiamat is the Dragon Queen of Betrayal and Dishonourable War. She is a deity of dishonourable dragonkind (usually, but not exclusively, referring to chromatic dragons) and a member of the Great Pantheon. Tiamat is recognised as the Goddess of Destruction and is often viewed as a necessary evil in the world. The Queen of Dragons demands reverence, homage, supplication, and tribute from her subjects. She is sometimes called "Her Dark Majesty" or simply "Dark Queen".

The symbol of Tiamat is the five-pointed sun.

Tiamat is the patron of the daring and courageous, martial skill, and the summer. She is representative of the light of the sun - necessary but dangerous. Many also view her as being the goddess of sexuality and lust, as distinct from Ishtar, who is patron of romantic and motherly love.

In the Aurelian Empire, Tiamat is viewed as a greedy, vain, and arrogant goddess who embodies all the strengths of dragonkind, and few of their weaknesses. To her priests, Tiamat represents destruction in its form as a necessary tool for rebirth. It is believed that in the final days, Tiamat will destroy the Material Plane so that it may be reborn as a new universe free of the taint of the Abyss. The Night of Shadows is a festival held by many in Vedar on the longest night of the year, when people drink and feast, giving homage to Tiamat to stave off this destruction.
