First mentioned in the article "Little Horrors[1], the Forgotten One is the patron of the Fine-sized savages known as the Genfigenus. It might answer the calls of other creatures, but it does not appear that anyone other than those ill-smelling marauders even knows of its existence.

In the mythology of the Genfigenus, the Forgotten One is a quasi-demonic entity whose name and appearance have been wholly forgotten, even by its most devout worshipers. Its sole motivation is malice, and it lashes out from the shadows, unseen and unremembered.

Worship of the Forgotten One always involved bloodshed. When conducting ceremonies, the Genfigenus either make a live blood sacrifice of the weakest member of their tribe, or - by preference - of prisoners taken during battles with other tribes. The roasted carcass of the sacrificial victim is then consumed by the tribe. It has been suggested that the Forgotten One is somehow a racial memory of Wudr, Darklord of Madego. How this could be possible in contravention of Wudr's curse, is unknown.
