Oyun is an NPC that can be found in Highgate in Act 4, with a significant role in several quests.
Always composed and rational in her behaviour, she is the sekhema - leader - of the Maraketh, who broke with over two centuries of tradition started by Deshret, admitting exiles into Highgate and allowing for the breaking of Deshret's Seal.
Lore
Despite strong opposition and criticism of Kira, Deshret's descendant, Oyun decided to end the two centuries long isolation of Highgate and allow exiles into the city (Petarus and Vanja being the first ones) in order to gain knowledge of the outside world, seeing that Dominus' Blackguards have begun attacking the Maraketh.
Oyun also believes that imprisoning The Beast inside the Mines resulted in nothing more than "trading one curse for another", and putting great faith in the help of Tasuni, who is apparently gifted - or cursed - with visions allowing him to understand The Beast, she decided that an outsider, not limited by the ties and ways of the Maraketh, will finally be able to break Deshret's Seal and kill The Beast once and for all.
Dialogues
Oyun is voiced by New Zealand actress Helen Wong.
Introduction
You come to us, a woman like us, and yet nothing like us.
While we cloak ourselves in tradition and war, you cloak yourself in thaumaturgy and fear, and that is why you will kill the Beast within the mountain. Lady Dialla has told me this.
She has much faith in you, Witch. The question is… can we Maraketh share in her faith?
Deshret
The Maraketh once stood united under Deshret’s Banner. That was before the plagues, the tempests… the corruption.
Deskret rode here with this akhara, the Kiyato, to put an end to the Beast’s curse. And upon the very threshold of the darkness she faltered.
Perhaps she saw that King Kaom had gone there before her and not returned. Or perhaps the nightmare simply overcame Deshret’s seemingly indomitable courage.
Either way, she chose not to ride into the mountain, to slay the Beast. She closed and sealed the Mines and committed this akhara to Highgate’s guardianship.
The tempests, the plagues… they passed. Of their own accord, or because of Deshret’s seal, we do not know.
But what I do know is this. When Deshret vowed to watch over these Mines, she simply traded one curse for another.
