Dragons of Blackmoor

Zeromaru X Wrote:Talking about the Father of Dragons, is there any info about Bahamut and Tiamat in Blackmoor? I know they exist since the earlier incarnations of D&D (the original Greyhawk supplement name then the Dragon King - aka Platinum Dragon - and the Dragon Queen -the Chaotic Dragon, but is obviously Tiamat).

I'm interested to know if Dave Arneson incoporated them in some form in the original depiction of Blackmoor.

My players are making their own theories, and I want to know if there is any canon information to supplement them.

Indeed, OD&D did describe the Dragon King (Platinum) and the Dragon Queen (Many Colors). In Greyhawk, these became Bahamut and Tiamat. In Dragonlance, they became Paladine and Takhisis. Greyawk later had Io as the father of Bahamut as well as other Dragon Gods.

In BECMI (and Mystara), there were instead the Great One Dragon (all dragons) and his servants the Diamod /Star Dragon (Law), Moon/Pearl (Chaos) and Opal/Sun (Neutral).

I think Dave Arneson mostly had his own mythology for Dragons.

Father Dragon/Insellageth is either the representative of Bahamut or he could be Io. Chamber/Watchworks (Although male) seems to replace the Dragon Queen/Takhisis/The Pearl Dragon, while Gertie/Tsartha replaces the Neutral Dragon Lord.

Or you could simply use Bahamut and Tiamat as other offspring of Father Dragon?
