Overview
The god of the people of the cornfields is an ancient galeb duhr who stands amidst a circle of rocks that he long ago gave up herding. The people of the nearby village (03.30) grind the teeth they collect against his surface in order to grant their tooth powder magical potency (doing so does no such thing). They hold various rituals in his honor but since the last earthquake make sure to never spill sacrificial blood on his form or try to write or draw on him. They hope that he will bless their crops (which he does not) and protect them from danger (which he has no intention of). He hopes that they will cease their incessant nattering and leave him be, but driving them off would require more effort than he has spent for many a century so he waits patiently for humanity to meet its end as have the races that he has seen precede it. However, if any enemy of the villagers were to try to desecrate or destroy their “idol” they would be quickly apprised of the lack of wisdom of that course of action, for the God in the Stone is a small and somnolent god but the prayers of centuries mean that he is a god still…
