Details:
All the above sources were used in pretty much the same way: gathering
of background information for the story and characters.
The greatest changes I made to the original myth of Tiamat are thus:
The dragon now has a name other than "Nebuchadnezzar's Dragon"
The dragon keeps sheep
Background is given for why the dragon becomes worshiped as a god
The dragon does not really explode (he just seems to)
