Zedhad is a god.

He takes the form of a chunky, overgenerous badger.

Zedhad created silver twelve years ago.

If you believe in Zedhad, he will look favourably on your prayers.

If you do not believe in Zedhad, he will name a particularly small and pointless asteroid after you.

Zedhad's most sacred site is Quenstedt in Germany.
