His manifestation as a Harrek/Jar-eel/Androgeus-like superhero comes from the boardgame.
In Prax, some giants are "gods" in the wider sense. Tada appears to have been an unaging manifest "deity" (spirit?), aka demigod, much like Vingkot, Ezkankekko or the Pharaoh. Some of the fertility loss was blamed on his death - probably the inability to till the land in the manner of the Oasis Folk.

River of Cradles, page 8: the forests of Prax were burnt by Oakfed when the Golden Age people of Prax were desparate to keep warm.

Look where old Bully stopped the hordes coming out of the Wastes - just below Stormwalk Mountain. But I guess a retreating or beaten Chaos Horde can't be as complete in their ravaging.

The chaparral...
And the Dead Place has been compared to the Great Salt Lake. Minus the salt licks.

The Book of Drastic Resolutions Volume Prax had most of the Gazetteer, and both Codex #1 and Tales #14 and 15 covered much of the region.
I don't know how much of the French Hero Wars publications on Pavis have gone into Praxian trivia. Anyone in the know?
> Henders Ruins? Does anyone know the story of the Hender of Henders

As far as I know, this place still has a blank history. The ruins are not an oasis, so there are no Golden Age survivors present. Probably lack a dependable water source.
The name bears some similarity with Hendreik or the Hendreiki, whose lands were just a bit higher in the mountains. Maybe the place is not a Golden Age remnant but a Dawn Age Heortling settlement, or a Dawn Age Heortling settlement in Golden Age ruins. Whichever, nowadays the place is abandoned. Dungeon crawl territory.
