Takhisis,
the Queen of Darkness
(Primary Goddess of Evil)
Other names: Dragonqueen (Istar, Silvanesti,
Ergoth), She of the Many Faces (Highlo), Mai-tat (Tarsis), Nilat the Corruptor
(Icewall), Tamex the False Metal (Thorbardin)
Symbol: Black crescent
Color: Black
Sphere of influence:: Night, evil
dragons, hatred
Constellation: A five-headed dragon
In all lands and cultures, Takhisis is the epitome of evil. Her consort
is Sargonnas, and together they
have one son, Nuitari. There is a tentative
peace between them, but it is not a peace that prevents them from conspiring
against one another when it suits them. She is continually seeking ways
to enter the world, through the Dragon Wars of Huma's era and the recent War
of the Lance.
Takhisis can appear in any form she wishes, taking disguises as it suits
her purpose. She is most often seen as a five-headed dragon, a dark warrior,
or a beautiful temptress.

The crafts of their priesthood are secret as well, with none outside the order understanding them fully.

It is said that Hiddukel, a deal maker who trades in souls, is the only being that can barter with the Dark Queen and win. He controls all ill-gotten wealth, which he uses to tempt and corrupt greedy men. Hiddukel is often pictured as grossly fat, with cold eyes and an oily smile.

Nuitari
Other names: None
Symbols: A black circle or sphere
Color: Black
Sphere of influence: Black magic
Constellation: no star formation - The black moon, Nuitari, whose waxing and waning influences the powers of Black-robed mages. Only astrologers, navigators, black-robed magic users, and others who watch the heavens are aware of Nuitari's existence, for the moon is only detected when it blots out the light of stars.
Nuitari is the twin brother of Zeboim, and the son of Sargonnas and Takhisis. He left the ranks of evil to join with the other gods of magic, Solinari and Lunitari.
