I'm doing a re-read of Midnight Tides and came across an interesting passage from Bugg speaking to Shurq down in her hideout/crypt. When she asks him about the hieroglyphs in the crypt he says
"The language on the door belongs to an extinct people known as Forkrul Assail, who are collectively personified in our Fulcra by the personage we call the Errant."
I couldn't recall the Errant being associated with the FA in any other books, does anyone have anymore information about this? Did I miss something?

In Reaper's Gale there is a dream-like scene by the Errrant, remembering FA being marched into the Errant's temples into destruction. The overarching tie would be of balance.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Ganath : "The Errant thought to defeat them (his worshippers), as you might well seek to do, and so he became the god of change. He walked the path of neutrality, yet flavored it with a pleasure taken in impermanence. The Errant’s enemy was ennui, stagnation. This is why the Forkrul Assail sought to annihilate him. And all his mortal followers.” (BH)

I don't think I was making that story up, but I can't find it. This is a relevant RG quote:
"Alas," said the Errant, 'my advice to you would be useless. My power quickly dissipated. It had already been terribly wounded - the Forkrul
Assail's pogroms against my faithful saw to that...."
