The Tide

"In a night-blue Mansus-haze swims a coral palace-crown which yields now and then to the moon. At its fore-edge it absorbs the lesser Names, coating them with its minerals and juices, and at its rear edge it expels them, polished like jewels - but not all of them. The others go to feed its thorny Tide-heart."

It was one of the six Gods-from-Stone, who came into being before humanity, and one of the five among them who were cast down by the other Hours in the Lithomachy. Its principle was, although at the time Grail may have been called Tide. According to A Second Glory and In Memory of Gods, The Tide was drained or consumed by The Red Grail, thus banishing it to Nowhere.
