the runt God, Heart of Stone, runt of the gods
The small, weak deity that failed to ascend previously; identified by Rhys as the Heart of Stone in the upper world; according to Rhys, Sylvie thrust it upward, Kaelyn learned to coax it into coexistence to prevent mutual destruction, and Rhys urges finding and wrangling it to ascend again. The Runt God is an Eldritch being tethered to the mountain, having emerged from the earth during a confrontation. It is associated with the stone weavers Sylvie and Rhys. The Runt God is larger than a crab named Pinchie, which was recruited by Jamal. The Runt God erupted through the floor of the Audience Hall while Dean Therion was downed, with allies and uncertain neutrals present, and Ygva's remains being used to grow saplings.
