Isn’t io the most powerful, they died and the two halves of his personality became bahumat and Tiamat.
In official D&D lore, I believe so. But this Tiamat isn’t official, its based off of Babylonian mythology with some other stuff mixed in, for example, Ratatoskr is the Norse messenger between the eagle and nidhogg that live on Yggdrasil. Tiamat was originally from Babylonian mythology as the creator deity.

Tiamat is really cool esthetically, I leaned in heavily on the fiendish part, making her lord of the Gates of Baator and Asmodeus' partner.
What is Tiamat’s relationship with Zariel in your lore?
Strained. Zariel is currently in open rebellion against Asmodeus, and Tiamat is basically Asmodeus' lover.
Wow. Ok. That’s great! I really like that idea.
Yeah, when Asmodeus anounced to the other lords that he was going to establish a truce/alliance with the demons so that the full forces of Inferno could invade Materia, Zariel in a fit of rage threw a holy spear into Asmodeus, taking him out of the war, which probably saved Materia long enough for the Celestial Brigade to even the odds. Asmodeus tried to strip Zariel of her title and give it to Bel, but Cozbinaer of the Yellow Gas went ahead and warned Zariel, giving Zariel enough time to safeguard her title (the titles of the rings of Baator are physical items in my world) and rebuff Bel's forces. Now the two are in a stalemate within Avernus with Bel leading Asmodeus' forces and Cozbinaer leading Zariel's while Asmodeus recovers and Zariel sabotages the hordes.
Anybody got any homebrew gods that they want me to use for my own ttrpg?
If you want, you could use my Version of a creator deity based off of Babylonian mythology.
Tiamat, Harbinger of life
Tiamat is the first. Before everything else, before time, space or the planes, there was Tiamat. She created the first thing. It was known as the Primordial sea, an endless pool of water in which The Next God was born. She had children with that god. Her Children were the first monsters, creatures of godlike power that each got their own piece of the Primordial sea. These children include Charybdis and Scylla, the twin monsters of the deep, Cerberus, the sentinel of the afterlife, and Ratatoskr, the sly messenger. Charybdis and Scylla did not change anything about their Domain, except that they added a sea floor. Ratatoskr Planted Yggdrasil on the first patch of land that he created, thus forming the planes, and Cerberus made the land out of Volcanoes summoned from the primordial sea. Together, they formed the first things needed for the cosmos to begin. Then, The New gods came. These gods imprisoned Scylla and charybdis, banished Cerberus to the lower plains, and used Ratatoskr as a messenger. Together, they defeated Tiamat and sent her to sleep in a pocket of water under the Earth, only accessible by geysers to small for Tiamat to fit through. She occasionally stirs, causing the geysers to belch forth monsters from the pool Tiamat lay trapped in. Recently, she has become aware that there are now mortals in her realm. She will show them, as well as the new gods, what true power is. Currently, she is spending all of her divine power to free one of her children, to set off a chain reaction in which they are all freed, along with Tiamat herself.
if you include This Version of Tiamat, i imagined her as an enormous Dragon, probably about 1500 feet long And 300 feet tall. She is also the Goddess of the Oceans, specifically salt water. Hope this inspires you!
As much as I would like to, sadly I already have lore for Scylla, Charybdis, Cerberus, and Tiamat.

Morana Marzanna
Morana Marzanna was once a powerful Warrior Goddess of the Winter Eladrin who attempted to Conquer the frozen North of Materia. She was however stopped by the Giant Gods . The leader of the Giant Gods, Annam All-Father, soon realized that they could not destroy her. Instead the Giant Gods pulled together their power to curse her. Morana Marzanna now has to walk Materia, living a lifetime each year. At the beginning of spring she drowns herself and revives herself as a child. She will then grow back into her adult form as winter approaches. It is said that if you fear or hate her, her adult form will always appear as an ugly terrifying crone. If not, she is beautiful.
Its fine! I probably would make that mistake too.
Tiamat is really cool esthetically, I leaned in heavily on the fiendish part, making her lord of the Gates of Baator and Asmodeus' partner.
I am also here.

I really like D&D, especially Ravenloft, Exandria and the Upside Down from Stranger Things. My pronouns are she/they (genderfae).

Anyone wanna share some homebrew lore? All of your stuff is super cool.
I AGREE

Got anything?

Yes.
I'd have to try and find some...
And I'm not really talented when it comes to lore, so I hope if I post anything, it's not disappointing.
