Hades
Hades is the god of death and the underground in the Olympian Dynasty, and the overlord of Hades in the Lower Planes. He is considered a harsh overlord with stringent rules and codes, although there are small allowances for mercy within his domain.
In addition to his realm in the Lower Planes, Hades was given the island of Hadesia in the Three Brothers Isles after the Litigation of Flames. According to the Dancamortian Charter, he promised continued wealth and prosperity to the people of its underground city, Dancamort, in exchange for their devotion and the promise of their souls after death.
