Capital: Camphadal
Ruler: The Lexy (governor)
Worship: The Aghama
The second largest tribe of Jaddayoth and the complete opposite of the Maudrah, for whom they have an almost morbid hatred.
The Hadassah worship the Aghama, not in image, but in the belief that the Aghama's presence is inherent in every har and that to abuse yourself (or any other hara) is to abuse the Aghama. Thus, when having to engage in battle, for whatever reason, every Hadassah has to make amends to the Aghama. This is usually expressed through sanctified aruna with the temple soumelam, known as Huyana, who must also be offered gifts in the form of food, money or clothing. As the Hadassah are a race fond of drinking, conquest and brawling, the Huyana make a comfortable living from this practice.
A gregarious people, the Hadassah affect clothes of the brightest colours and are fond of adorning their costumes with scarves, jewellery or tassels. It is customary for most hara to accentuate their features with cosmetics and they import many exotic perfumes from Kalamah and Emunah.
As the Hadassah seek to make a profit from visitors, travellers - especially those who advertise the fact that money presents no problem - may expect to be welcomed by the Hadassah and receive excellent accommodation and service in any town.

| NOTE: Currently the Wraeththu Companion is current only as of the original
three Wraeththu books (Enchantments, Bewitchments, and Fulfilments).
The Companion does not encompass anything is the new Wraeththu History series
(Wraiths and two additional books), nor does it include changes made to
the original books by Storm as she re-edited them for reprint by Immanion
Press, with new content and appendices, and nor does it include material being
developed for a Wraeththu RPG game. It is hoped that the Companion will expand
over time to include these. All original artwork remains the property of the artist, Ruby.
No image may be taken or reproduced without permission.
The names and likenesses of the Wraeththu characters are used with permission
of Storm Constantine, the recognized
creator and author of the Wraeththu Chronicles (The Enchantments of Flesh
and Spirit, The Bewitchments of Love and Hate and The Fulfilments
of Fate and Desire) and the Wraeththu Histories (The Wraiths of Will
and Pleasure, The Shades of Time and Memory, and The Ghosts of Blood
and Innocence.)
