#zapatha

So the sona's name is Zapatha and they were originally a unicorn. In the wake of Narinder's imprisonment, several cults sprang up seeking to elevate their leaders to godhood in his place. Zapatha was a follower of another unicorn, Khrona, who sought to become goddess of time. The bishops let some of these upstart cults burn themselves out, but Khrona's was one of the ones that they actively squashed.

Khrona was able to transform Zapatha, giving them a monstrous form (a la the minibosses) with deer elements. However, this took the majority of Khrona's power and after Zapatha was defeated by Shamura (who was doing most of the fighting for the cult squashing because war god) was summarily killed easily, leaving her cult to scatter. Zapatha peeled themself off the ground, permanently physically changed, and crawled off to lick their wounds.

When they heard the Lamb had defeated Leshy, they began keeping an eye on the cult, and then when the Lamb defeated Heket, Zapatha joined the cult in part to be on the winning side this time. They act as a recordkeeper for the cult, but is also collecting folktales and is writing the founding myth of the cult as it goes. Their tent is also sort of a library for the cult, though it is a very informal one.
