1Find Deshret's spirit
Tasuni can hear the spirit of Deshret calling to him, and wants you to help her. Find her spirit in the Mines and free it.
  • Find Deshret's spirit

  • Area: The Mines
    NPC:
  • Kira Deshret: Deshret lies shackled in the darkness, while I, her blood, am shackled by duty to remain here. Oyun has decreed it.

    Will it be you then who frees Deshret from her dishonour? Perhaps you will, perhaps you won't. Either way, it is Deshret's fate to suffer at the mercy of injustice.
  • Oyun Deshret: Yes, Tasuni has informed me of Deshret's existence within the Mines, but has been unable to tell me how she comes to be there. Another troubling hole in our knowledge of Nightmare.

    Regardless of her origins, I will not risk my {dekhara} in an attempt to free her. Even were she still flesh and blood, I would decide the same.

    She is our Sekhema no longer, and we have fulfilled our duty to her memory many times over. Kira will not agree, yet her revolt will rise only as words. I am her Sekhema and she will not cross me.

    So, free Deshret if the opportunity arises. It is only right that she be allowed to return to the dust of the Vastiri, but it would be wrong if any should follow her there.

  • Talk to Tasuni in town for your reward

  • Area: Highgate
    NPC:
  • Kira Deshret: Deshret has ascended and returned, as we all must, to the dust of Vastiri. The Red Sekhema's dishonour has passed, and for that, outsider, I will always be grateful.

    Yet honour lies not in {whether} an act is committed. Honour lies in {how} an act is committed. What does it say of the Maraketh when we are forbidden to attend to our own?

    What does it say of Oyun and her belief in her own blood, our own honour?
  • Oyun Deshret: Thank you for doing Deshret so great an honour. Your generosity shall be remembered.
  • Tasuni Deshret: I felt it, {saw} it... the storm of her release. Our Red Sekhema is free to mingle once more with the red earth of our birthplace.

    Deshret was the howling wind, the lash and bite of the driving dust. Our wild Vastiri is weakened by her absence no longer.

    You've done yourself proud today, exile. Righted a wrong that we Maraketh have borne for far too long.

    And of course, as promised, you shall be rewarded.
  • Sonja, the Farmer The Soil: I have come to learn more about the land's bounty. Far beneath the sand and clay, there is a hidden layer of volcanic soils, and a thick band of ash. These are rich and fertile deposits. Given our distance from the mountains on Tujen's map, I have no doubt that something terrible ravaged this land a very long time ago. Middengard is mostly comprised of volcanoes, but none like this. I am surprised there are people still present on Wraeclast after what must have happened...
