She is believed to be the embodiment of the Weave and of magic herself, her veins the ley lines, her breath the mists and her body the pulsing, thrumming earth. She tends to the Weave constantly, making possible all the miracles and mysteries wrought by magic and users of magic. ![]() She is the Mistress of Magic and Mother of Mysteries who guides the Weave of magic that envelops the world. Mystra ( / ˈ m ɪ s t r ə/ MIS-trə) is a fictional goddess in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game.

Honor and Duty to the Balancer (Lendys), to Her Mercy (Tamara), and to the Justicemaker (Bahamut). Honor and Respect to Righteous Innocence. It included paying homage to Tamara, as well to the draconic deities Bahamut and Lendys. The Ptarian Code was similar to the codes of chivalry adopted by knightly orders of humanity. Originally intended as a guide to conduct for the lords who attended the King of Justice, the Ptarian Code eventually was adopted by many gold and silver dragons. Some of her dragon adepts followed the Ptarian Code, a draconic code of honor created by the gold dragon Ptaris in the ancient past. She detested fiercely those who artificially prolonged the life of a dragon, even more when it was against the dragon's will. She believed in mercy, both in life and death, and as such she not only healed the sick and tended the injured, but also delivered a merciful end to those dragons nearing the end of their natural lives. The preservation of life and happiness was all to Tamara. When dragons died in one of Tamara's temples, their passing was greeted in a positive light, as a merciful way to escape from the hardships of life.

Tamara was the kindest and most benevolent of the draconic deities. She radiated a comfortable aura of warmth and love, her eyes shining with the brightness of the sun itself. In her natural form, Tamara was a huge, wingless platinum dragon with burnished scales, slightly smaller than Lendys. ![]()
