The Errant

Turudal Brizad, The Queen’s First Consort (MT, Dramatis Personae)

Paran to Ganath : "I am the Master of that Deck —" “A Master, in the same manner as the Errant?”

“Who?”

“The Master of the Holds in my time,” she replied.

“I suppose so, then.”

“He was an ascendant, Ganoes Paran. Worshiped as a god by enclaves of Imass, Barghast and Trell. They kept his mouth filled with blood. He never knew thirst. Nor peace. I wonder how he fell.” (BH UKTpb. p339)

On the nature of the Errant's worshippers

Ganath : "Even in this world of yours, I am certain that there is no shortage of followers, of those who are desperate to believe. And they will hunt down others and make of them victims. They will cut them and fill bowls with their innocent blood, in your name, Ganoes Paran, and so beseech your intercession, your adherance to whatever cause they righteously fashion. The Errant thought to defeat them, as you might well seek to do, and so he became the god of change. He walked the path of neutrality, yet flavored it with a pleasure taken in impermanence. The Errant’s enemy was ennui, stagnation. This is why the Forkrul Assail sought to annihilate him. And all his mortal followers.” She paused, then added, “Perhaps they succeeded. The Assail were never easily diverted from their chosen course.” (BH UKTpb, p. 339)
