Role
In the shared cosmos the Bahamut-Tiamat tension is the axis of the draconic lineage. Tiamat is the mother of the first Chaos; Bahamut represents the ordering principle and the protection of dragons of good heart. The Dragon Staff may be interpreted as an artifact tied to his authority over dragons.
