This allows her to be a being of godlike power and also makes her a horrifying villain in the eyes of the dragons - the specter of dragons corrupted by the force they opposed. This ties to having corrupt dragons allied with the Lords of Dust in my conversion of the Age of Worms. If Tiamat is the corrupting spirit - the darkness that lies within all dragons, and the symbol of those who fall - then that gives her a unique role in Eberron and an explanation of why she's the queen of evil dragons. Her army of evil dragons may include golds, silvers, etc - all that matters is that if they serve her, they are as vile as dragons can get. As for the Prophecy, yes, you can't simply "derail" the Prophecy. What you CAN do is turn it to your own ends. The Pprophecy is a tool for shaping the future. The dragons of the Chamber have goals in mind, and the Prophecy determines what they must do to accomplish those goals. The Lords of Dust (and Undying Court) seek to oppose the goals of the Chamber, and to use the Prophecy to accomplish THEIR goals... to turn the Prophecy against Argonnessen. I could easily see Tiamat doing the same. It could be said to be "derailing" the Prophecy, because it's shattering the goals of Argonnessen. However, the Prophecy itself is eternal. (And a point here is that there are factions within the Chamber and Argonnessen that themselves seek different outcomes.)But as has been said, my statements about the Prophecy are MY statements about the Prophecy, and not canon.</blockquote>
