D&D 5E Is Paladine Bahamut? Is Takhisis Tiamat? Fizban's Treasury Might Reveal The Answer!

According to WotC's James Wyatt, Fizban's Treasury of Dragons introduces a new cosmology for dragon gods, where the same beings, including Fizban, echo across various D&D campaign settings with alternate versions of themselves (presumably like Paladine/Bahamut, or Takhisis/Tiamat). Also... the various version can merge into one single form.

Takhisis is the five-headed dragon god of evil from the Dragonlance setting. Paladine is the platinum dragon god of good (and also Fizban's alter-ego).

Additionally, the book will contain psychic gem dragons, with stats for all four age categories of the five varieties (traditionally there are Amethyst, Crystal, Emerald, Sapphire, and Topaz), plus Dragonborn characters based on metallic, chromatic, and gem dragons.

Yes and yes… at least I hope.

This sounds also like a way for them to put out iconic Dragons like Ashardalon across multiple Settings.

As far as I'm aware of, Tiamat/Takhsis "are" the same and the same could be said for Bahamut/Paladine as well since both are Platinum Scaled dragons. And since now Dragons have "echoes" of their alternate reality versions and stuff, well there ya go.

And still no one will include Saridor in any of their worlds.

Is this where we find out Dol Arrah and Paladine are the same?

 

[Parmandur]

And still no one will include Saridor in any of their worlds.

A remnant shall remain.

Maybe we will get this Hasbro/Disney crossover, since everything in the worlds are now crossing over.

But this one may be more fun...

He also mentions that elder dragons, aka great wyrms, will have echos on other worlds and the dragon is aware of all of its echos at the same time. They essentially have avatars.

Here might be a way Paladine could be Bahamut and also NOT be Bahamut.

Here might be a way Paladine could be Bahamut and also NOT be Bahamut.

I think I’ll call these Variants.
