	The Blind Witness has few followers. Sects and cults to the deity can be found scattered around the world, but these are nearly always very small. Some worship the Witness out of mourning for what could have been, while others take to it out of amazed wonder.		The Blind Witness has few followers.

	The Blind Witness sees the passage of time in the universe yet does not interfere. The Witness has no herald or servants, save for its few mortal devotees, and is not believed to ever directly act upon the world.

The Witness has no herald or servants, save for its few mortal devotees, and is not believed to ever directly act upon the world.

	Worship of the Blind Witness has historically been tied to the Aserdian pantheon, with most of his faithful residing in [[Brightmarch]], though more recently his religion has spread to areas around the [[Chaska Sea]]. The stories of the deity told by his followers within the [[Chaskan pantheon]] are an unusual attempt to bring the god into the long-standing creation stories in which he was previously absent. The deity remains marginal in the pantheon, though their influence has grown steadily if very slowly over the centuries. To most the inscrutable deity is a curiosity at best, or even something to be feared, a lurker in the dark outside the direct reach of the other gods. As a result, followers of the Blind Witness often find themselves unwelcome or even ostracized for their beliefs.
