Tiamat

THE Ancient One

The Primordial Chaos, born before Space and Time existed. Melded the waters of Chaos with those of her mate, Absu, of the Sweet Water, and from them spawned the first gods. After the first gods murdered her mate, she sought vengeance against them, and was slain by her grandson, Marduk KURIOS, Lord of 50 names, bringer of Order, and god of Thunderstorms. Upon her defeat, Marduk rendered her body in two, using half of her to create the Heavens, where the gods might rest, and using the other half to create the universe, from which all life sprang.

Yet bits of her were rendered in pieces throughout the battle, and some say that from those pieces great creatures born of poison came to be...

It is said her spirit lives on within the deepest unconsciousness of men and gods alike, Dead but Dreaming, and that those who dive Deep can still commune with her...though they risk their sanity, and lives in the process.
