Zeboim, Lady of the Tempests, is a Goddess in the fictional Dragonlance setting.

Description
Zeboim, also known as the Sea Witch, the Darkling Sea, and the Dragon Turtle, represents the godly force of strife. She encourages souls to give into its urges and release anger. She is the unpredictable and embodies storm and raging sea, which is the element she commands over. Her attitude constantly changes, going from calm to raging in a minute. She wants souls to continually cause anguish and anger, so that they remain active and vital, instead of becoming predictable and stagnant. Sailors and mariners try to calm her during voyages so that she does not make trouble for their vessel. Zeboim is the daughter of Takhisis and Sargonnas. She mothers, through one of her aspects, the founder of the Knights of Takhisis Ariakan, the son of Ariakas. She loves him dearly and when he is killed she damns his slayer Ausric Krell to become a death knight and traps him on an island. She dislikes her mother and father, along with Chemosh, though she works with both her parents on occasion. She ignores Morgion and Nuitari and works with Hiddukel well. She hates or works against the Gods of Neutrality and has a special dislike for Habbakuk, who she sees as her true foe because of his power of the sea. Her celestial symbol is the constellation Dragon Turtle.

She is the goddess of gluttony and thus is favored by the black dragons.

She is the daughter of Takhisis and Sargonnas, and twin sister of Nuitari. Zeboim is said the be the most temperamental of all the Gods, and the most dangerous to deal with. Her mood swings wildly from moment to moment, often displaying classical symptoms of manic depression.

Zeboim is also the mother of Lord Ariakan, founder of the Knights of Takhisis.

As Goddess of the sea, she is in control of tempests and weather. Her unpredictable nature and wild temper mean that many seamen who manage to offend her meet with untimely ends.

She is a major influence on the plot of Amber and Ashes, book one of The Dark Disciple, detailing Mina's life after the death of Takhsis and her conversion/love to Chemosh.
