Haides (Hades) reigned as the sovereign of the subterranean realm and the deity governing departed souls. He oversaw the rituals of funerals and safeguarded the deceased's entitlement to proper interment. Haides also held dominion over the concealed treasures of the Earth, from the fertile soil nurturing the seed-grain to the subterranean riches of gold, silver, and various other metals.
