Tiamat is the five-headed queen of the evil chromatic dragons. She has one head for each customary color of chromatic dragon (black, blue, green, red, white), and each head has the powers of a member of the respective race of dragonkind.

Tiamat is one of the great draconic offspring of Io, the draconic creator deity. She is the eternal rival of her brother Bahumut, the ruler of the good metallic dragons.

She dwells in Avernus, the first layer of the Outer Plane of Baator. From there she schemes at ways to bring utter downfall and ruin upon the metallic dragons of the realms.

She thrives on hatred and deception, often taking joy in dividing her quarry before devouring it. She has many minions and followers, including Red Dragon Disciples who have served at her side since time can be remembered.

Open talk of worshipping Tiamat is especially frowned on by the general hard-working populace of Arelith. Just the thought of dragons and their kind typically evoke terrible memories in the common person. Discussion of Tiamat can lead to hostile confrontations in the wrong crowds.
