God · from book 4

Yarilo

The feral god of lust, Emberus's nephew or cousin or half-brother in Carl's uncertain count, banished to the Nothing for ruining one of Apito's masquerades — the god Samantha impersonated to escape the Nothing, who hates her for it. Born of the Gate's last opening on the ninth floor, conscripted by a war mage's potion, and beaten to death with Meatus by Harpocrates: 'Not my face.' His death angers the gods.

First appears: B4 ch. 21

By book

Book 4 — The Gate of the Feral Gods

Ghazi sought the Gate for controlled access to the Nothing, to converse with Yarilo, the banished god of Lust, and ask him to make Lika love him (B4 ch. 21); Ghazi's own account of opening a portal to seek him and being tricked by Psamathe (B4 ch. 23).

Book 5 — The Butcher's Masquerade

Book 5 supplies the banishment. At the first masquerade, drunk, he attempted to force himself upon the familiar of one of the other gods, and Apito banished him to the Nothing; Taranis raged at his wife 'for exiling his child' — his child, not hers (B5 ch. 65).

Book 6 — The Eye of the Bedlam Bride

'Don't worry, we programmed out the head exploding debuff this season. That one was caused by Yarilo' (B6 ch. 3).

Book 7 — This Inevitable Ruin

'PSAMATHE! […] By his left tit, stop running!' (B7 ch. 64); gives up (B7 ch. 66); a Conscription potion and an exploding caster (B7 ch. 69); protection from venereal diseases (B7 ch. 72); 'A deity has fallen […] The heavens tremble with rage' (B7 ch. 73).

Book 8 — A Parade of Horribles

Chachi once sacrificed a child 'at a Yarilo party because the meatballs had cilantro in them' (B8 ch. 52). The legend: 'Yarilo—who was the child of Taranis—had been banished to the Nothing by Apito, who was both his grandmother and stepmother', for breaking the peace of her Butcher's Masquerade (B8 ch. 70). Eris to Taranis: 'Remember what she did to Yarilo?' (B8 ch. 97).
