[QUOTE="Hexmage-EN, post: 8014418, member: 79428"] Really, it's just easiest to say that all interpretations are equally valid because every DM is going to have a different interpretation and every party is going to have a different experience running the same campaign book. One person is going to say Tiamat and Takhisis are not the same, and another person will say they are. Some will say Tiamat was stopped from entering the Forgotten Realms, and another will say she has conquered the Sword Coast. One will say she's trapped in Avernus, and another will say she fights over Tytherion with Zehir. One person is going to say Orcus was born from the soul of a mortal villain, one will say he sprung forth from the Abyss, one will say he's a corrupted primordial, one will say he tried to become a god using the Last Word and failed, one will say he tried to become a god by absorbing the Raven Queen's divine spark and failed, one will say he is a god in the Ghostwalk setting, etc. Oh, and don't forget yugoloths, who are either the creators of all fiends, just a weird subset of demons, or the product of Asmodeus commissioning some night hags to make new fiends.
