Church of Tiamat - Cult

  • New to DOMUNZ, Tiamat is using the disruption of the ANACHIME SUDEX and the Merrow summoning creatures and drawing old gods back to Domunz to assert her own influence in Domunz, knowing that Bahamut would be too distracted with the other incursions to pay her full attention, though even then she mostly acted through her Black Abishai agents and any creatures on Domunz she could lure to her new "Church" - was foiled when her avatar and window into Domunz turned from her (Glibglub). Picked up the task once more years later using new agents throughout Domunz.


Church of Tiamat (past history, from DND WIKI)
  • The church of Tiamat was regimented by a strict hierarchy of ranks and titles. Her clerics were occupied by the twin tasks of acquiring an ever-increasing hoard of wealth for the faith and sabotaging the faiths of other deities. As a result, they occupied most of their time with an unending series of thefts, assassinations, acts of vandalism, and arson.
Dogma
  • To Tiamat, deities of all creeds and from every pantheon are inherently tyrannical, and therefore her rivals. She considered herself the only being powerful enough to defy these gods and overthrow their despotic rule, as demonstrated by her overthrowing the other Untheric deities. Her followers worked tirelessly toward her agenda of world domination. When Tiamat assumed her throne as the only goddess of the Realms, her draconic children would serve as her dukes, or so her followers believed, and her clergy struggled to gain the position of vassals when that move came.
Rites
  • Clerics of Tiamat prayed for their spells at dusk, in hopes she will return the sun the following morning, as part of a ritual known as Tithing. The Tithing required a small tithe, typically several gold coins or a small gem, which were hidden in the cleric's cupped hands while praying, then buried.
  • Tiamat's clergy also performed various other daily ceremonies in homage to their mistress. The Rite of Respect was a complicated ritual of abasement and appeasement was performed while approaching any chromatic dragon. This ceremony didn't provide any special protection from the dragon's fury, but failure to perform it was a death sentence.
CURRENTLY: In league loosely with Cult of Lolth , Cult of Xavamir - aka X-Cult , and Order of the Burning Garden - Cult  

C3

  • Following Banishment of Tiamat from Mark Bastardson in Temple to Arawai in Warrenstone and Mak'Ti's direct involvement, plus Da'ath stepping away from the mission given to him, TIAMAT WANTS REVENGE (specifically, the eye of Mak'Ti)
  • Sends a Blue, Red and 2 Black Abishai, plus Aldrynn the White from the Cult to trap and take vengeance on the group in Warrenstone

GLIBGLUB

  • Following his blood sacrifice of the DEER and the blood from his own palm to TIAMAT's altar in the Great Nilos Wood outside Shi-Town (after killing the Cyclops), she appeared to him in a dream to communicate her desire for a relationship and check his receptiveness, and did not find him immediately rejecting her. As such, she used her power to mend his wounded palm and infuse it with a bit of her DRAGON FIRE, giving him the FLAME PALM ability, which is very similar to the DRAGON BREATH ability of DRAGON BORN.
  • When he levels up, he has the chance to become a paladin in her service and multiclass if her so desire. IF he rejects her continued advancements however, he will lose her FAVOR and be punished through their connection.

ABISHAI EMISSARIES OF TIAMAT

  • Sent after Lyka after news of his Devotion to Tiamat is learned
  Red
  • LEADERS (Powerful) Red-abishai CR 19
  • Red abishais have no equals among the abishais when it comes to leadership ability and raw power. Red abishais lead other devils into battle or take charge of troublesome cults to ensure that they continue to carry out Tiamat’s commands. A red abishai cuts a fearsome figure, and that sight can be inspiring to the abishai’s allies, filling them with a fanatical willingness to fight.
  Black

  • Expert assassins and infiltrators, black abishais can weave shadows to mask their presence, allowing them to reach a location where they can deliver a fatal strike to their targets.

  Blue
  • LEARNED SPELLCASTERS Blue-abishai CR 17
  • Seekers of forgotten lore and lost relics, blue abishais are the most cunning and learned of their kind. Their research into occult subjects gleaned from tomes plundered from across the multiverse enables them to become accomplished spellcasters. They use their magic to devastate Tiamat’s enemies.
  White
  • WARRIORS (troops) White-abishai CR 6
  • White abishais fight with a reckless fury, making them ideally suited for bolstering the ranks of Tiamat’s armies. White abishais fight without fear, becoming whirlwinds of destruction on the battlefield.

WANT FROM LYKALADA'ATH

  • Does not care that the Mindflayers want him, amuses Tiamat that the Mindflayers are so scared of his knowledge and bringing the Gith against them once more
  • Tiamat can promise him a Mindflayer to battle so he can return to his people after all this time a hero
  • She wants something in return however - on the continent of Domunz, there is a city named Chalinos. Over a century ago a young Warlock there crafted a spell to raise all the undead within a 5 mile radius. It is said he wrote down how he did this, and his notes and the completed spell are still somewhere in Chalinos. I need you to track this down.
