Silent God

The Silent God was the most remote and distant god among the pantheon. It was indifferent to the affairs of mortals and never interfered in their affairs.The Bonehunters, Chapter 14, US SFBC p.566-567
==In The Bonehunters==
L'oric's Demon familiar, Greyfrog, told the story of the Silent God. Centuries ago a new cult arose in Greyfrog's race and chose the Silent God as its representative. The cult's leaders declared themselves the god's representatives and wrote down laws, rites, and punishments regarding its worship. When the cult achieved domination over the clans it initiated terrible violence in the god's name, poisoning breeding pools, crushing eggs, and killing mothers. The violence and fear lasted for generations.
Eventually, seven great warriors from seven clans set out to find the Silent God and determine if it had blessed all that had been done in its name. When they finally found it, the god was dead. It had died with the first drop of blood spilled in its name. Greyfrog thought the tale showed how gods could be weakened and destroyed by the actions of their own followers.
