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.
