| - HadeusP is the elder god of Blood, one of The Four, the source of all ether—the stuff of souls, and the master of vitae—life force. In the Age of Gods, when The Four shaped Chaos into the material, he joined with Mystras to create the Humans, , and Dragons. When Ximatia, who loved Hadeus from afar, saw the bond that he and Mystras shared, she flew into a horrible fury and struck them both down, tearing out Mystras' hearts and sending Hadeus into a deep torpor, from which he did not awake until the event known as the Cataclysm. Upon his awakening, Hadeus delivered unto mankind the divine mandate that formed the Holy Xilosian Imperium. At his command, the Imperium has spread across the Prime Material. Hadeus' avatar appears as a tall, handsome Human with pale skin, long silver hair and blood red eyes in ostentatious gold armor with red vestments. He bears three pairs of wings, which are silvery and birdlike during the day, and red bat-like wings during the night. He has also been known to take the form of a great silver-furred bat; a massive red-scaled dragon; or a horse with six legs, black fur, and a silver mane, who gallops across the sky. In whatever form he takes, Hadeus' presence is immediate and overwhelming, and his avatar is always accompanied by a disembodied heavenly chorus, singing infinite praises for him and his Saints. Hadeus indicates his favor with spontaneously growing beds of thorned roses, sightings of clouds of bats, and rays of red light from the heavens. His disapproval is most commonly exhibited by sudden, unrelenting tears of blood (although the ability to willingly undergo stigmata is seen as a sign of great Hadean favor), and by darkening of the sky with black, rainless clouds. He is associated with horses, bats (especially vampire bats), and roses. Hadeus' holy symbol is a longsword with a cross-guard shaped like a pair of wings (either avian or bat-like). When back-dropped with a laurel, this is called the Crest of Xilosia, and is the official symbol of the Imperial Ecclesiarchy. __TOC__
