Hade-Dis Patter

Titles- The Oath keeper, The Dark Bellow, The Sworn God

Domains- Death, Order, Grave

Symbol- A coin with a crown imprinted on it

Personality- Hade-dis Patter is a solemn and calculating god. He rules the deep and silent realms believed to be deep beneath the ground. He is not cruel, but inevitable. He speaks slowly, weighs every word, and always keeps a ledger. Every life has value. Every death has cost. Every deal must balanced.

He despises waste, chaos, and unpaid debts. To him, the Fey obsession with whimsy is tolerable only so long as contracts are honored and old promises remembered. His patience is legendary, as is his ability to wait centuries for justice. He does not chase debtors as they will always return to him in the realm of the dead.

Despite his grim demeanor, he is considered fair. Even kind, in his way. He offers rest to the weary, riches to the wise, and silence to those who suffer. But all things must come to him, in the end.

Worship- Hade-dis Patter is worshipped quietly for a fey god. His followers include grave-keepers, oath-bound warriors, subterranean Fey, and those who worship wealth and deals. Shrines are often buried underground, beneath the floors of courthouses, banks, and ancient trees.

His rites are built around deal, ledgers, and coin. Offerings include rare metals, coins, or the Oaths sworn to the god himself. The wealthiest Fey courts often pay annual tribute in coins minted with the names of the dead.

Cultural impact/legacy- Hade-dis Patter is not widely loved, but he is respected, feared even, by Fey and mortals alike. Fey who break their word often find themselves gaining his unwanted attention and retribution can quickly follow. It is for this reason that many Fey hold their word so dearly. His name is invoked during oath-bindings, will-writings, and treaty closings, especially in older Courts like the Court of Rum or the Court of Houses.

Some say his domain lies so deep that even time forgets him, which is why his realm is still and perfect. Others claim he keeps the names of all Fey who will one day be forgotten, and reads them aloud when the last voice that knew them dies.

He has special enmity for gods of chaos and whim, particularly those who value sensation over structure. Yet even they must pass through his doors, one day.
