Uh...what are followers of Tiamat called?

[Talya]

Talos = Talassan
Shar = Sharran
Sune = Sunite
Mielikki = Mielikian
Mystra = Mystran
Torm = Tormish
Ilmater = Ilmatari
etc. etc. etc.


Tiamat = ?

[Tvtyrant]

Spawn? Dragonlords? Pentapeople?

[kabreras]

Dissociative identity disorderers...

[enderlord99]

Tiamatians
...I guess...

[druid91]

Well there is a prestige class called a "talon" of tiamat.

[Cespenar]

Tiamatite is probably the one you gave up on at first thought?

[Urpriest]

Yeah I'd go with "Talons". I also like Jasadin for followers of Wee Jas.

[Coidzor]

Adventurers.

Alternatively: Idiots, Dragons, Kobolds.

[Keld Denar]

Tiamatese?

Tiamati?

Tiamatians? (sounds like dalmations)

[Flickerdart]

Tiamites? Sounds about right.

[Coidzor]

Alternatively, Tim-Tams, Timatians, Tialatians.

[Ravens_cry]

Twitter users?:smalltongue:

[137beth]

I think it is suppose to be Talons, but Tiamites, or Tiamatites, sound stranger:smallsmile:

[Flickerdart]

Alternatively, Tim-Tams, Timatians, Tialatians.
101 Talmatians? :smalltongue:

[Silva Stormrage]

Followers of Tiamat >.>

[Darrin]

hors d'oeuvres or snacks.

[Talya]

Tiamati?


Oooh. I like that one. Like "Illuminati."


hors d'oeuvres or snacks.

I can totally see chromatic dragons referring to them as such.

[Vemynal]

Dissociative identity disorderers...

i pick this one

[Yora]

Tiamatite is probably the one you gave up on at first thought?
Tiamatite sounds right, but also sounds a lot like a mineral. :smallbiggrin:

[enderlord99]

Adventurers.

Pretty much. I mean, PC's are greedy.

OOPS! (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DontExplainTheJoke?from=Main.ptitle0t9r68ih)

[Malimar]

I would have thought the obvious would be "Tiamatist".

Races of the Dragon also has a Draconic glossary, which lists "tiathar" as the Draconic for "spawn of Tiamat".

But most game materials referencing followers of Tiamat refer to them as "followers of Tiamat".

[OracleofWuffing]

Lemmings. :smallamused:

[Tam_OConnor]

Tiamatari?
Tiamatum?/Tiamatim?

[Ravens_cry]

Lemmings. :smallamused:
Does that mean they (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnjyxCl1kyA) all wear blue robes and dye their hair green?

[OracleofWuffing]

If they are particularly devoted to the blue and green heads aspect, of course.

(The red ones are Tiamaytoes. Some of them prefer to be called Tiamahtoes.)

[Malimar]

The problem, thinking on it more and looking at lists of Earth religions, is that very few are named after their principle deity or prophet. The only major ones that are I can think of are Christians, Buddhists, and Jehovah's Witnesses. ("Mohammedan" is deprecated and considered offensive.)

All the others tend to be prosaically descriptive terms. "Jew" derives from Hebrew for "People of Judea", "Baha'i" derives from the Arabic for "glory" or "splendour", "Muslim" is just Arabic for "one who has faith", and so on.

So, if you really want to be realistic, you would come up with the Draconic for "seeker of power" or "follower of the five-headed path" or "breeder" or something else that describes what the philosophy of Tiamat seeks to accomplish, and call them that.

[Ravens_cry]

If they are particularly devoted to the blue and green heads aspect, of course.

(The red ones are Tiamaytoes. Some of them prefer to be called Tiamahtoes.)
Those exclusivity devoted to the green side are called Tiamatillos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomatillo).
Those in a (losing) conflict with the red aspect followers are Fried Green Tiamaytoes.

[OracleofWuffing]

I thought they wanted to be called Fried Green Tiamahtoes... Maybe we should just call the whole thing off.

[Talya]

Fried Green Tiamahtoes...

If only greens breathed fire, this would be valid.

[Ravens_cry]

If only greens breathed fire, this would be valid.
No, because then they would be fryers.:smallbiggrin:

[hamishspence]

The 4E FR Campaign Guide has a list of adjectives for each deity.

So, for Cyric, it's Cyricist.

And for Tiamat, it's Tiamatan.

Tiamytoes?


No, because then they would be fryers.:smallbiggrin:

Don't you know? Priests of Tiamat assembled in orders call each other Fryer.

[OracleofWuffing]

No, because then they would be fryers.:smallbiggrin:
Just so you know, I was lying in bed for about an hour before the pun finally hit me. Well played.

Is it wrong that that fills me with an unholy glee?:smallbiggrin:

We are ignoring the abortion that is 4E Forgotten Realms.

I think they are reffered to as Thralls, as in "Thralls of Tiamat". That might be a specific title for her Clerics though, rather than a general title for her worshippers.

[OracleofWuffing]

Not at all, that's why I announced it in public.

I guess if one of those guys took Deformity(Obese) they'd be a Deep Fat Fryer?

[Ravens_cry]

Yay! <insert Kermit flail here/>

If they were underground, underwater, or known for their wise and thought provoking discourse, yes.

[Socratov]

tai.. tiac.. aw, to the nine hells iwth it, how about vermin?

[Thiyr]

Adventurers.

Alternatively: Idiots, Dragons, Kobolds.

Wait, I thought the first and the third alternative were the same thing? :D

-kidding. mostly.-

'Also, Tiamatites? Tiamans? Tiamats? I like Tiamatist though.

[Safety Sword]

Don't go ruining the thread with the actual answers!

It's always the sensible people who ruin everyone's fun :smallwink:

[Coidzor]

Adventurers = Dragons?

...Let me check my notes...
