Tamariel¶
Tamariel was the High God who sat on the Throne of Law, "the ultimate ruler of all things" in the age after the Primordial War, and the patron and chooser of the Eldritch (S386, S208). He was murdered by his wife Izhtari, and he is dead; the Eldritch who survive into the Fifth Age call themselves his rightful heirs (S147).
The Throne of Law¶
"The Throne of Law was forged at the end of the Primordial conflict to govern both Inner and Heavenly Planes. The High God Tamariel sat on the throne and was the ultimate ruler of all things" (S386). The newest cosmology says the Throne "granted uncontestable dominion to 12 High Gods of the Einar" (S001); Tamariel is the only High God the histories name. The Throne of Law itself has its own page.
In the Creation Period that followed, the gods "began to argue amongst themselves about how things ought to be. Tamariel was initially able to suppress most of the dissent, and conflicts played out primarily among the early races, which were used as pawns in the struggles of one Einar against another" (S386). The dissent became the Elder God-War, and "the war ended when Tamariel was murdered by his wife Izhtari in a coup" (S386). The war is told under the Age of Titans.
Patron of the Eldritch¶
In the Age of Titans "Ethereal Magic became a prevalent form of magic during this age and its most prolific practitioners were the Eldritch, who were the chosen of the High God Tamariel" (S208). The Eldritch "have Covenants with the Throne of Law and Astral Shards. These cannot not be broken by any known means", which is why, when the Younger Gods defeated them, they could only be imprisoned (S141).
The Eldritch remember him. Among the things they hate are the "Sancturi gods and other Einar which are just an offshoot of the Kalari and responsible for the death of their patron Tamariel" (S147). Allannia Vaj'zaelin, freed in the Fifth Age, holds that "now that Kalar, the Usurper is dead, as the rightful heirs of Tamariel" the Eldritch may raise themselves to godhood (S147, S141). This is the Eldritch's own account of his death; the histories give it to Izhtari.
Earlier accounts¶
The 2018 plot notes place Tamariel at the Comet of Origination, part of Kalar's locked shard: "It was where Kalar forged most of the mortal races, and where Tamariel created the Primal Dragons" (S143). The 2020 history instead has the Primal Dragons made after his death, when "Izhtari and the Einar used the Throne of Law to create the Primal Dragons and their broods" against the Demons (S386).
Gap
No source gives Tamariel's domains, symbols or form, says whether any cult survives him, or explains what the Eldritch mean by his heirs: whether a shard, a throne or a title passes to them.
