The 1st ranked lord of the Garden. Xepholus' city sits exactly in the north of the region. The lord himself typically resides inside his palace-like castle, perched on a throne of his own. Xepholus is the appointed right-hand, knight and prophet of Xenophanes. He is the leader of the other lords and is in charge of keeping everything in order. Xepholus is considered to be a very significant figure in this regard, which greatly gets to his own head. Though he is viewed very highly by both himself and his devoted followers, he still does care about his fellow lords despite his rather large ego... Can you blame him though? Xenophanes made him the most privileged of the seven. Xepholus is the most powerful of the lords, even outmatching Rakthar; in fact, Xepholus is typically the one to subdue any of the other lords if they act out of place. Him being blessed by Xenophanes along with being by far the strongest being in the Garden has easily landed Xepholus to be the overarching lord of the realm... Of course, he still stands under his god.
Trivia: -The kingdom-adjacent city is typically where most souls go to find refuge from the harsh elements of the realm, which leads it to be the densest in population. -The souls who live in the city however all need to follow the ruling of worshipping and devoting themselves to Xenophanes. If not, they'll either be thrown out or executed. -The city itself has a lot of the same Sentry creatures that were mentioned in Garithogg's project. They act as the monitoring law, making sure everyone is truly devoted to their god. -Xepholus has a large sword for his choice of weapon. -Xepholus is one of the lords that look the most like Sonic; he also has the honor of bearing crystals on his quills and armor, a generous gift from Xenophanes. -Under his helmet, he bears a large, X-shaped scar on his entire face to show his utmost devotion to Xenophanes. -If Xepholus loses his sword, he'll just resort to using his claws to fight (think of Prowler, specifically from Into the Spiderverse). He is also capable of using some of Xenophanes' abilities. -Xepholus 6 inches shorter than Xanathia.
