The political faction that Sigmar Heldenhammer is the patron deity of is based on what real-world empire?
Sigmar Sigmar Heldenhammer is a fictional deity in the "Warhammer Fantasy" setting. He is the patron deity of The Empire. Before he became a god, Sigmar was a man, albeit an exceptional, perhaps even superhuman one. The young chieftain of the Unberogens who lived 2,500 years before the present day of the Warhammer universe, he united the barbarian human tribes into what would become the mightiest human nation – the Empire. His sign is a twin-tailed comet or a war hammer.
Jad (fictional god) Jad is a fictional solar god found in the works of Guy Gavriel Kay, including "The Sarantine Mosaic" series, "The Lions of Al-Rassan" and "The Last Light of the Sun". In these books, all set in a fictional world loosely based on Europe during late antiquity and the early Middle Ages, Jad serves as an analog to God, as the focal point for an organized church (or group of churches) similar to the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. In addition to the mainstream church of Jad, there are a number of heretical and schismatic movements alluded to or described. The main division in the Jaddite faith stems from belief or disbelief in Heladikos, a fire-bearing celestial charioteer, and son of Jad. Heladikos is the Jaddite analogue of Jesus. Belief in Heladikos is outlawed as heretical by the time of Emperor Valerius II, an analogue of Justinian I. This is a marked difference from actual Christianity, which is formed around faith in the son of God.
