Within the Dragonlance universe, Takhisis was a sister of Gilean and Paladine,[citation needed] the goddess of control and evil, consort to Sargonnas, and mother to Zeboim and Nuitari.

[6] Within the Dragonlance universe, Takhisis is the most ambitious of the gods, frequently making plans to upset the balance and take over the world for herself.

His brother Caramon, with the aid of a time-travelling device, dissuades him from this path; and Raistlin sacrifices himself to prevent Takhisis from leaving the Abyss.

[10] In the neo-pagan press, a series of books published by Oberon Zell-Ravenheart, looks at Takhisis in the Dragonlance world and compares her to the Babylonian and Dungeons & Dragons version of Tiamat.

[5] This ultimate source of the theme of evil is discussed again in a presentation by Dr. Stefan Ekman of Lund University in Sweden.

This struggle is compared with the human, or at least mortal, heroes of the stories of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and C. S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia.

Takhisis is well-aware of Berem and sends her draconian armies and dragons to find him, because if she gets her claws on him, she'll be free and unbeatable.

[...] Apparently, the column had imprisoned Takhisis and the removal of the gem allowed the goddess a little bit of freedom, which is why she's causing trouble in the present.

It all feels quite banal, especially compared to throwing the most powerful enchanted item on the planet into an open volcano.
