Arc

Odette's goddess in the Ascendency (ch. 43); Hellik says she has returned and is behind the rot (ch. 54); someone is killing her sub-pantheon too (ch. 57). The spell that made the first crawler to cast three atrocities her Champion was hers: Donut is the Oak Fell, Champion of Nekhebit, may not worship outside her court, and can be ordered or smitten (ch. 76, ch. 77, ch. 79). Eileithyia calls Donut 'champion of Nekhebit, harbinger of doom' (ch. 86).
