Hey Playground. Long Time. Wondering what y'all think of this motivation for Tiamat, the overarching villain of a possible campaign of mine
Tiamat, goddess of dragons, is last of the Medusids, one of the races in the last iteration of reality that was destroyed by the gods when the amount of souls exceed the capacity of the afterlives after trillions of generations of growth. Each of her heads is part of the psionic cluster of serpents that makes up her being while her draconic body is a bio-magical construct, the evolution of her body from when she ascended to godhood as the last hope of her people during the Annihilation War when the Xill destroyed the last living things to wipe the slate for the gods to begin again. With her ascension she learned of the plan of her new brethren, and was thus bound by their oaths to not reveal or interfere in their plans for mortals. As her purpose in ascending was to help her people and bring the gods into the battle against the beings bent on destroying all life she immediately went mad and attempted to slaughter the rest of the gods who she felt had betrayed their followers and was swiftly bound deep within the devastated former home planet of her people. Her selves were separated, weakened, across the planet, and began to spawn the Dragons, great beasts of powerful magic like their mother. Some, the Metallics, retained her desire to protect all mortals, the purpose of her ascension, while others, the Chromatics, were the personification of her rage against her fellow gods and the beings they had replaced her people with. Now, billions of years later, her heads begin to awaken, still vengeful against her godly siblings that led to the destruction of her reality, and sensing the schism that led to her peoples killers being allowed to live, despite their vast, destructive potential, in case the gods had need of their services again, and the never ending war to stop them from using said skills too soon. The Mother of Dragons begins to raise her army in truth, to destroy the killers of all she knew, Xill and God both.
