Cardes was originally a deity of truth and governance, and was worshiped with particular fervor by magicians. Recent research has also uncovered evidence that he discovered a certain god's plotting during the great war between humanity and the gods. However, Cardes was sealed in combat with the Four Heroes of Palmyna before he could share this information with the other gods. Had he not been sealed at Palmyna, Cardes might have changed the course of the war by revealing what he knew.
