# Slid — The Gods of Pegāna character guide

> Slid in The Gods of Pegāna by Lord Dunsany.

**Role:** supporting

**First appearance:** 0010-the-sayings-of-slid

## Snapshot

A god whose sayings unfold the silvery fountain, the blue pool of memory, and the day Māna-Yood-Sushāī will show his face.

## Who they are

Slid speaks in the prophetic register that shapes Pegāna's cosmology, describing the fountain that curtains the resting-place of Māna-Yood-Sushāī and the still blue pool where every soul may see its life and sins. His words carry the book's central consolation and dread: that all in Pegāna have sinned, that no darkness truly falls because the gods' blue eyes shine like sunlight on the sea, and that at the Last the mists will be drawn back. He matters because his sayings give the reader the map of the world's end before the story has finished beginning.
