"When the fields lie fallow and the night is thick, he watches. The King waits, unhurried and calm, until the day we all lie still."

Farmer Saerun, leaning on his plow, just before the autumn harvest.

"When the harvest is gathered and the fields lie still, I feel the Silent King watching over us, cradling our tired souls."

Elder Jorin, at the communal fire in the village of Eldren, at dusk before the harvest festival.

"The Silent King smiles when all screams fade into silence; may we one day find solace in his eternal rest."

Sister Elara, at the Temple of the Fading Echoes, during the Night of Falling Ashes


Basic Information:

  • God of emptiness, order, silence, peace, final rest, infinity, the stillness of death, sleep, untouched nature, natural order.
  • It is said that when everything returns to ash, dust, and silence, when the screams fade away, the Silent King will smile.
  • Embodiment of Final Rest: The Silent King represents the ultimate peace that only death can bring, a state of absolute silence beyond mortal comprehension.
  • Order in Emptiness: He embodies the natural order of life’s end, the quiet truth that all things must return to dust and silence. His presence is not comforting but inevitable.
  • Detachment and Unyielding Presence: The Silent King is the embodiment of emotional distance. He does not mourn or celebrate - he simply is, an eternal witness to the end of all things, unmoved by mortal concerns.

Symbolism:

The Silent King is often shown as a towering, shadowy figure draped in a simple, featureless robe that cascades around him like midnight fog. His face is typically obscured by darkness, with only the faintest outline of his solemn features visible, as if he himself is fading into the void. Artists typically depict him standing on the shores of a silent lake, or on a barren field, with mist rising around him and moonlight barely breaking through, casting long, haunting shadows. His presence evokes a sense of inevitable quiet, where even whispers are swallowed by silence. Writers describe his gaze as a void, watching impassively as life fades, unperturbed by the grief or joy of mortals.

Holy Symbol:

  • A moonlit lake, its surface perfectly unbroken and still, covered in mist, a serene image that symbolizes the absolute stillness and finality he governs.

Holy Colour:

  • Ashen Grey, the color of dust, stone, and the remnants of a world long forgotten. This color is neither dark nor light but a neutral tone, reflecting his nature as the ultimate equalizer.

Holy Number:

  • Zero, symbolizing the void, absolute silence, and the absence of all things - an eternal, empty nothingness that awaits all.

Holy Animal:

  • The Owl, a creature that moves silently and sees through darkness. Owls, often perceived as omens of death, embody the watchful stillness of The Silent King. They are creatures of the night, presiding over quiet and shadow, which reflect his domain over the end and the absence of sound.

Ideals:

Embrace Silence.

  • Speak only when necessary, for words are disturbances in the stillness. Seek solitude, reflection, and the quiet of mind.

All Shall Return to the Still Waters

  • Death is not to be feared but respected. The dead are sacred and should be buried near silent waters if possible, allowing their souls to drift into the King’s realm with ease.

Balance is Not to Be Broken

  • Undeath, resurrection, and the denial of final rest are abominations that defy the natural order. Seek to end such disruptions and return the dead to the peace of the void.

Hold Reverence for Stillness

  • Moments of quiet reveal deeper truths than words or action. The Silent King values solitude and solemnity; to disturb the silence is to disturb his peace.

Proverbs, Chants & Prayers:

  • “Where the lake is silent, the soul finds rest.
  • “All paths lead to the moonlit lake.”
  • “When the last breath is drawn, the Silent King smiles.”
  • “In the shadow of the Silent King, all are equal.”

Common Prayer to The Silent King:

In stillness, I kneel by the shore,
Where shadows whisper and echoes bore.
Silent King, shroud me in your embrace,
Guide my spirit to your timeless place

As the world grows darker, I seek your peace,
In the void of sorrow, let my burdens cease.
With every breath, may my cries fade away,
In the calm of your silence, I long to stay.

Grant me solace in the depth of despair,
An end to the chaos, a moment to share.
Let me drown in the stillness, unbound from my fears,
As the world turns to ash, and all weeps in tears.

Silent King, I bow before your throne,
In the quiet of twilight, I am never alone.
Embrace my spirit, let it merge with the night,
Until all that remains is your endless twilight.
