- The Watchful
Each of the five heads have their own domain and the via for power. Some of the heads are clearly struggling in the desert heat of the new world
Red Head
The Red Dragon Head is known as Bhaalgnar.
The red dragon head has been winning the dominance war with the other heads. The Red head has domains in Heat and Fire. The desert world that has become, is the perfect domain for this dragon. It is possible that Tiamat actually needs more balance but the red head has swung that balance too far.
Blue Head
The Blue Dragon Head is known as Gyndrossoig.
The blue desert has domain directly over deserts and is the next winner among the heads of tiamat. In the broken lands random strikes of lightning can sometimes be seen. This is the power of the blue head.
Green Head
The Green Dragon Head is known as Weyog.
The Green head has rewritten itself to gain more domain. As all the forests of its domain are gone, she slyly moved underground. She was used to the dark parts of the forest canopy and so this transition was not hard for her to make.
Black Head
The Black Dragon Head is known as Badna.
The Black head is not faring well. His domain is completely gone. The only power for the Black head is left within cities as they keep small amounts for watery almost swampy spots. this is the scraps left for him.
The Black head is currently via for control of the moon. He has complete control one day each month, but he wants it all. He trying to take out the White Head completely.
White Head
The White Dragon Head is known as Nuatuhl.
The White head has fared the worst. Actually if you saw Tiamat, the white head seems limp on one end of the huge beastly god. The head could die. this might cause even more harm to the world. The White heads domain is cold and water. Both are nearly gone and hence the loss of power and domain.
The White head is the only head without a constellation. She has grabbed domain of the moon. It is the only place that is cool enough for her. This is making her stronger, but she is still weak. Other Dragons can use the moon only as it passes through their constellation. This is often referred to as when the moon is in the house of blah. During our adventures Oni saw the this as the Moon moved through the house of Badna.
Tyr: (based on the culture of Tyre, use to be Waterdeep)
- King Kalak, the Tyrant of Tyr has allocated an inordinate number of slaves towards working to build his ziggurat, including those owned by the nobility
- Even the iron mines, upon which Tyr’s economy is based have been shut down to allocate more resources to the ziggurat
- Nobody knows what the ziggurat is for
- Kalak’s Templars as well as his personal guard are all armed with iron swords
- As in most of the city states, while Tyr’s Elven Market is always in the same area, the vendors are always changing from one day to the next.
- Because most of the slave laborers have been working on the ziggurat, the remaining gladiatorial slaves have been putting on more and more impressive fights, rather than the barbarically uneven matches that were normally seen before. This in turn is increasing the draw that the games have to the point where seat prices have risen dramatically.
- People are starting to whisper that King Kalak has gone mad.
- Tyr is located in a valley along the edge of the Ringing Mountains
- Taxes have also risen dramatically since Kalak began the construction of his ziggurat.
Rumor: Tyr was built atop the ruined foundations of an ancient city. Though many of the passages and byways are blocked off either by more recent construction, or shifting dunes, there are still many hidden access points to various locations under the city. This area is known as UnderTyr.
