As I stated in the nomination thread, When Takhisis was introduced into the World of Krynn (DragonLance) she was NOT Tiamat.

Takhisis is the sister to Paladine. All the deities are the children of the All-Father - Chaos (See Chaos War series/Dragons of Summer Flame novel).

Paladine is Bahamut.

I would say the second Dragonlance trilogy is where he transformed from antihero (jerkwad edgelord) to villain. He did some terrible things in his quest for godhood, using and manipulating his friends and his brother, not caring about anyone but himself. Had he succeeded, he would've turned Krynn into a wasteland. Even though he had a last-minute redemption, I still count him the villain of the tale.

See, Id say he is explicitly not a villain in that trilogy. He didn’t just have a last minute redemption, he sought out to do better than the gods, saw at the end that he couldn’t, and ended his quest.

He is one of the heroes of that trilogy.

Paladine is Bahamut.

No.

1992 Tales of the Lance states that Takhisis was called Tii'Mhut (p117) and Paladine was called Bah'mut (p113) by the people of Istar. That would be firmly 2E territory.

I own that set, its not very good IMHO.

I loved the heck out of it. Though I will grant you that 2E was quite a rollercoaster of both wonder and weirdness.
