Apito, the Oak Mother, is a goddess whose tangled place in the divine family tree makes her wife to Taranis and both mother and sister-in-law to the gods Emberus and Hellik. First introduced in The Eye of the Bedlam Bride as a living deity strangely commemorated by a memorial crystal and nursing an ancient grudge against Nekhebit, she grows more enigmatic in This Inevitable Ruin. There she is described as both dead and not dead, and Hellik reveals that a malevolent presence has corrupted her. Even so, she remains active enough to name Carl a friend of the church, and she is remembered for having once ruined one of the Butcher's Masquerade parties.
