View source for Epic:Takhisis, Goddess of Evil Dragons

<helpfile>
   The evil of Takhisis ruled over all that dwells in the shadows for eons
before the gods retired back into the outer realms.  Powerful and prideful, 
the evil dragon goddess at first refused to accept the ruling of the pantheon 
of gods.

   As such, the Dragon Goddess was forcefully removed from the mortal realm
through an epic war so old that history has all but forgotten its existence.
The War of the Dragons, as it was deemed due to the nature of the
contestants, ravaged the lands until a band of average mortals happened
upon Takhisis's weakness - her love for the spider god Mishakal.  By
entrapping him in a prison in the void, they distracted Takhisis long enough
for the gods to banish the goddess to the outer realms.

<helpfile>
   Massoulette, a renowned historian, theorizes that Takhisis did not return
to the outer realms in total defeat.  Hypothesizing that she knew her armies
could not withstand an onslaught without the aid of her lover Mishakal,
Takhisis allowed herself to be vanquished, leaving behind a permanent
means for her to return to this world.  She planted a seed in the bowels
of Dragon Mountain where was born her avatar likeness, Tiamat.

   Although godlike in her presence, Tiamat is barely a shadow of Takhisis's
true self, and her true power.  Only when the great travelers visit the
House of the Dragon, when Takhisis's power is at its greatest, does the
dragon queen become so bold as to visit the mortal realm in her godly form.
