Lore

Tiamat is the primordial dragon goddess of Mesopotamian mythology, born from the ancient chaos that existed before the world itself. Associated with the salt sea and the untamed waters of creation, Tiamat became the mother of monstrous beings and cosmic horrors during the wars of the gods. Legends describe her rising against the younger deities in the form of an immense multi-headed dragon whose fury threatened to consume existence itself. From her defeat, the heavens and earth were said to be formed, making Tiamat both creator and destroyer within the oldest myths of civilization.
