It Would be interesting if we found out the pharoh was Tumeken when the arrow hits his facemask, you see (presumably) Amascut's face, meaning (to me) that either she is the pharaoh or the pharaoh is somehow under her control

but it would be, yes, he doesn't seem like the nicest chap though. Definitely not the 'I'll sacrifce myself so my people dont have to be treated like grabage/food in the zarosian empire' type

Given the green lines on his and his attendants' faces during the flashes and the similar lines on the minor desert god's faces when they appear, I'd say that it is heavily implied that they are all under Amascut's control (though perhaps not Apmekan unless she fell to Amascut again since we freed her senses).

Presumably this is showing Apmeken's corruption before DNE.

Also, there's nothing to indicate in-game that Scabaras himself was ever corrupted - he's shown to be healthy enough to attempt to steal the Kharid-Ib from Amascut in DITR, and Amascut's subsequent revenge on him only dealt with his followers. Can't corrupt a god if you don't know where the hell he is. You never were our brightest star, Khazard. 'Vermin slaughtered like lambs'? What does that even mean?

Is that Amascut front and center in that splash image, hover-handing the Kharid-ib? In a new outfit?

No wait, it looks sort of like her Lady Keli costume, but pinker? She's not wearing that silly kitty ear tiara and her hair is different. Maybe someone finally pointed out that she was wearing kitty ears. And maybe some sort of breastplate? And a golden gorget!


YAY NEW AMASCUT OUTFIT!!!!
Why do the other gods hardly ever change their outfits? Amascut does so in (almost) every quest. Amascut is the God-Empress of Fashionscape confirmed. Slay Queen, YAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSS!


Edit: The lady's silhouette matches Leela's silhouette in the characters page. How disappointing. OR IS IT?

Edit edit: well, her outfit does resemble Leela's current in game outfit. Hmmm. Why would Leela hover-hand the Kharid-ib like that, though?

There's actually lore basis behind this! In retaliation for her becoming the Devourer and destroying her temples and killing her followers, her priests (Neite included) cursed her so that any form she takes would eventually cast her out, forcing her to take a new form! There were other parts of the curse, too, but that's the relevant part to your question. Mods pls notice me

Anyways I thought it was pretty obvious that the blue guy was meant to be Het? His appearance matches that of the statues we've seen of him - the statue guarding the Kharid-ib originally, and the statue that I THINK is in Senliten's tomb. The two pronged crown with the false beard chin thingy. And since Het was blamed for Sophanem's plague, causing Menaphos to shut their doors hardcore, it'd make sense to me that he'd make an appearance. Mods pls notice me

That's pretty much what I meant for Apmeken.

As for Scabaras, recall that Amascut says that she will deal with Scabaras soon enough during the cutscene at the end of Diamond in the Rough. Fast forward a bit, and the cult of Scabaras is under Amascut's control and Scabaras is nowhere to be seen. And while we may have freed the Scabarites from her control, Scabaras remained missing. Methinks beetle brain might need our help getting him out of a bit of a pickle.

Since the Quest to access Menaphos only requires the Ozan doublebill, I would assume that, yea, the forms from the trailer are from before their respective quests, and once you complete their respective quests (Do No Evil, Dealing with Scabaras, Crondis' Quest, and presumably Het's Quest), they'll probably appear in the city, visibly changed/returned to normal.

Also, for any still not sure about Papa Smurf Jr. being Het, here's the corrupted desert gods from the trailer, with Het on the far left:



Het in Senliten's Tomb:



Het's Statue guarding the Kharid-ib:



Here's Blue-dude from the banner:



... There's a pretty clear resemblance.

Side note:
The more I look at the banner, the more I feel that he looks grey than blue...

Scabaras is ALWAYS nowhere to be seen, that's kind of his thing. He's had his quest now, I'm not expecting him to get another one (although he may get a small role in the finale). You never were our brightest star, Khazard. 'Vermin slaughtered like lambs'? What does that even mean?

The actual effectiveness of the curse is questionable (not only because CATS ARE LIARS) but this brings up the possibility that the splash image and the character page are hinting at the fact that Leela may have become Amascut's new outfit. Humility is self-destruction, pride is the destruction of all else. And He said, "
Let there be light.
"
And then there were none .

Then let's just agree to disagree. I personally consider Amascut's threat to 'deal with' Scabaras now that he's poked his head out of the sand as an indication that she actually did something to him and not just his followers, and we've only freed his followers so far.
