Kardis (カーディス, Kādisu) is the goddess of destruction. During the War of the Gods, Kardis sided with Phalaris, the god of darkness. Thus, she opposed the gods of light led by Pharis. At the end of the war, Kardis clashed with Marfa of the gods of light. The two fought and both were mortally wounded. It is believed by people of Lodoss that Kardis, using her last breath, cursed the continent of Alecrast, and that Marfa, using her last strength, split the cursed land before the curse could spread further, creating Lodoss island. Like every other partison god, Kardis met her (physical) end in the war and lost her means to interfere in the material world. It is said Kardis' body is still resting somewhere on Lodoss. On Marmo, a statue of Kardis exists in a large underground section below Marmo's castle, which is said to contain petrified remains of the goddess.
During the War of the Destroyer’s Resurrection, the dark wizard Wagnard attempted to resurrect Kardis.
