character

Harpocrates

The Silent God · The Mute God

Supposedly mute god who screams over the loss of his cock and flees the realm, vowing revenge on Donut.

Story so far

Harpocrates proves he was never actually mute. As Meatus is scattered across the realm, a deep scream shakes The Nest: the god raises his arms and howls about his beloved cock, swearing that the Champion of Nekhebit will pay for this. Then he too disappears, the system confirming that Harpocrates has left the realm.

His departure is one of the divine exits that leaves Princess Donut holding a Champion title and a stack of deity spells. The chains he or his allies loosed fade away like smoke, and the paw above dissipates, showering the last of the gore over Shanty Town.

Appearance

A towering divine figure with arms raised in fury, voice deep enough to shake the tower before he vanishes.

Role

A fleeing god who marks Donut as an enemy on his way out of the realm.

Relationships

Meatus — Fellow god whose destruction sends him into a screaming rage
Princess Donut — Swears vengeance on her as Champion of Nekhebit before fleeing
Nekhebit — Rival deity whose new champion he curses
