Predathos

Predathos is an entity who arrived in Exandria not long after the Founding, and who consumed two of the gods.

History
Predathos appeared in Exandria from somewhere unknown within the universe. It was resistant to the miracles and abilities of the other deities, and ate both Ethedok, god of darkness and winter, and Vordo, god of fate and order. The other gods then partnered with the primordials to seal away Predathos in a prison made from a piece of Exandria - possibly an ancient continent. This was the origin of Ruidus, which they also encased in a lattice, similar to that which would later be used to create the Divine Gate. However, while the gods and primordial titans had wished to send Ruidus out into space, it instead stayed as a satellite. The gods spread rumors of Ruidus's ill-omen in the hopes of decreasing interest in its origins.

By 843 PD, knowledge of Predathos had been lost to most people. The Grim Verity only learned of their existence from texts that one of their number stole from Vasselheim. The Grim Verity believes that the religious leaders of Vasselheim have guarded this information as a secret in order to prevent it from threatening the faith of the followers of the current Prime Deities.

Members of the Verity also believe that some Ruidusborn, known as "Exalted" or "Scions", have particularly strong connections to Predathos from which they obtain their powers. The number of these individuals had, as of 843 PD, been increasingly exponentially, and some believed that Predathos intended to use them as anchors.
