Apito's story, book by book

  1. Book 5 The Butcher's Masquerade

    Queen Imogen tells the myth of the first Butcher's Masquerade, which Apito and Taranis threw; she banished Yarilo to the Nothing for breaking its peace. In the dungeon, 'Apito' chooses the masquerade's guest list.

  2. Book 5 The Butcher's Masquerade

    Prepotente reveals a memorial crystal for Apito exists, which should be impossible because she is not known to be dead.

    Source: Book 5, ch. 75
  3. Book 8 A Parade of Horribles

    Rosetta says Apito defeated her mother Nekhebit, the last old god. Prepotente's Apito memorial crystal protects everyone in the same vehicle or building from Scolopendra's attacks.
