# Quote — Tanith Lee, The Storm Lord

> A day out from the bay of Saardos, Drokler honored the brass Rorn god in the prow with a pound of incense.
>
> The blank god mask stared back at them through the pall of sweet blue smoke....It gazed in myopic stillness out over the long shock of the waves, ignoring their words, their presence, their costly offering.
