Tiamat, also known by many other names, including Nyssa (NEE-suh), Thala, and Takhisis, is the mother of the evil dragons and a goddess of vast age and power. She is known and feared in many worlds, including Marillia, Toril, and the Nine Hells.

Phoenic mythology

In Phoenic mythology, when Ra first found the earth, there was no land, only never-ending primordial sea, and beneath its waves lay slumbering Nyssa. When Ra raised land to populate it with his creations, Nyssa awoke from her slumber in terrible anger. To quell her wrath, Ra wed her to his son Ebzu.

Nyssa was quieted for an age. She and Ebzu produced many children. But then one day, their children accidentally killed their father. When Nyssa discovered them playing with his dismembered corpse, she unleashed a wrath upon the earth never before seen and never seen since. She mated with the dark abyss itself to produce a horde of demon spawn. It took the might of all her children put together to end her. In the end, it was her son Shahra who carved her into pieces.

Relationships

Tiamat is opposed by Bahamut, known in Marillia as Raha.

Tiamat has a complicated relationship with Asmodeus and Casir.
