Khapri-Amun
Khapri-Amun is the insect god of time, order, death, darkness, and the chief deity of the Amukreen. His cults, primarily Amukreen though there are others, claim that Khapri-Amun was the first god and that all the other gods are children of him (or invaders from outside, depending on the teller) who warped the world against his wishes. When he fought them to make them stop, his blood became the Amukreen. Khapri-Amun is a greatly disliked deity, often being the Castores equivalent of Satan in most cultures.
Khapri-Amun is often known as the Wounded God for his supposed loss in the divine battle between him and the other deities. He did however, stop or greatly slow down their meddling with his ‘perfect’ universe. He is also often blamed for the world not being a perfect place, many often claiming the Invaders were sent by him. He is also known as the God of Many Forms, as while most commonly depicted as a scarab, his form is often different depending on the teller, and the Amukreen range in various different species of insect. His followers believe he will one day return to unmake the world and restore it to its proper way.
Khapri-Amun, as the God of Many Forms, is also the “God of Many Holy Symbols”. Because of his unpopularity, his believers instead wear insect-styled jewelry, something that isn’t uncommon to find on people. The Amukreen have many different symbols, often reflecting whatever insect they themselves most resemble, though their great cities show him as a wounded abominable mish-mash of just about any insect you could imagine.
He is, unknown to most, one of the principle deities of the Fey, known as Deborah. Their chief deity, Thelion is Deborah’s eldest son, and stole a fragment of his power to give Fey their longevity. Deborah is also their god of magic. They depict him as a tall pale-skinned Elf with four arms which hold a symbol for each seasonal court. Older depictions show the sleeves of his robe are not sleeves, but rather are slings to hold his broken arms.
