Baltad, the Red God

Baltad, the Red God appears in Swords XIV and Swords XC. They are depicted as a monstrous skull with four eye holes, wrapped in a red cloak. They have a red gem embedded in the center of their skull. They are the god connected to the Red Godsword, and said that the one who can pull it is a kind man and destined to be king. They still helped Hilton even though he wasn't able to pull the entire sword out of the stone, since they knew that his future king needed a kingdom to rule, and they would let Hilton create it.
