Deshret is a Legendary Sekhema of Maraketh that seals the door The Mines as well as orders her villagers to guard the door at the Highgate.
Faridun
Nenet, a rogue, came from Faridun, a faction that was exiled by Maraketh to the Vastiri Desert, according to Adiyah's dialogue. Faridun is featured in the Act 2 of the upcoming Path of Exile 2 as enemy faction.
The quest The Immortal Syndicate also refers the Vastiri Desert as "Maraketh Desert".
Order of the Djinn
Apparently, Maraketh has some relation with the Order of the Djinn. The Order has a vault in Vastiri (in The Oasis in in-game area), while the Highgate is next to the Vastiri Desert and The Oasis in terms of in-game areas. Jun, Veiled Master uses some in-game fictional language that is also used by members of Maraketh, such as akhara. She also introduced herself as "of Vastiri". The order also fostered people that was exiled by Maraketh, according to the flavour text of Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Rusted Reliquary Scarab".
History
The Winter of the World
The Winter of the World was a major event in ancient Maraketh history. The war spans the years between the rise of the Lightless to their defeat at the hands of Solerai and Lundara. However, little is known about it.
After the Lightless's initial attack on the Proto-Vaal, The Clayshaper, along with the Maraketh's "scant survivors" of the Lightless's initial attack, formed an alliance to found the Order of the Djinn[1] and repel the Lightless's invasions on the Vastiri Plains. Using her craft of golems and "relics of power"[2], Ahkeli helped the Maraketh survive early battles.
During a period of hopelessness, twin sister Sekhemas Solerai and Lundara arose, Solarai wielding a spear of with "essence of gold" and Lundara with a weapon with "essence of silver". At the hands of the "Three Sisters", (the third being Viridi), the Winter of the World was ended, resulting in the Lightless being driven back underneath the surface and the survival of the Maraket] and Order of the Djinn. At some point before the end of the war, Ahkeli died by unknown means.[3]
The exact details are shrouded in mystery, mysterious even to the scholars of Wraeclast themselves.[4]
