Tiamat

The Eon deity Tiamat is very similar to the standard goddess of 3.5e, but some aspects of her mythology have been adapted for the Eon storyline and are relevant to our interests.
Tiamat played a recurring background role during the events of Ille Draconum and Legends of the Ages (ca. 400 of the Second Age). Gabriel spent much of her time having visions of Tiamat in her human aspect while in the service of Barron Ganth. These visions were occasionally shared by other members of the party. Barron Ganth had hired Telamore and his group to kill Simun, Tiamat's hydra son. While Simun was present in the Mudvayne Flats, he warped the river into an imitation of the River Styx. Telamore and crew 
recovered a complete amulet from Simun's stomach. This amulet depicted a dragon in flight and read Nosrep fle lalah. Tiamat had been banished from the Prime Material Plane to hell #237 long before the events of Ille Draconum, and had co-opted Jergal's holiday of Nosrep for herself when he fell from godhood.
During contemporary Eon (1430 -- of the Second Age), Tiamat has appeared to Ethan of Malvont in a tapestry of Olidammara viewed with a Mirror of True Seeing. Her symbol has also appeared when Claire looked at a symbol of a six-fingered hand clutching lightning bolts in a Mirror of True Seeing.
Apocryphal texts claim that Tiamat was the mother of Kurlakuk, the god of kobolds. This is commonly held to be about as true as the existence of metallic dragons.
== Notable Worshipers ==
*Durrak (spelling?), the demi-lich cleric in service to Xenteroth. He had been waiting and/or in stasis under the Ruins of Eldergrin as a guard of the Frozen Fates hidden there. While his holy symbol appeared to be the six-fingered hand clutching lightning bolts, it was revealed as Tiamat's symbol. He seemed aware of the hidden meaning of his holy symbol: when asked what god it represented, he replied, "Duplicitous."
*The High Priest on the Crna Ruka also wore the "symbol of Duplicitous", and the altar on which he was conducting a blood sacrifice said "There are worse things than being banished to the 237th".
*Alphabet and his dragon cultists worship dragons to some extent; whether or not their worship extends to Tiamat herself has not been made clear. The trap used to ensnare Ashra responded to a line from Ille Draconum referencing Tiamat and made reference itself to "a meal for the Great Mother", so signs point to yes.
