Tiamat And Marduk
Before the stars blinked into being, before the sun carved its arc across the void, there was only the abyss—an endless expanse of roiling, ink-black waters. In this primordial chaos, two deities emerged from the formless depths: Tiamat, the mother of all, her serpentine body a shimmering tapestry of scales that spanned the horizon, and Marduk, the luminous son of the younger gods, his form radiant with the promise of order. They were opposites—Marduk a beacon of structure, Tiamat the embodiment of wild, untamed power—yet their fates were intertwined in the violent birth of the cosmos.
