Area: The Mines Level 2 (Act 4)
Quest:

• An Indomitable Spirit

Deshret, the Red Sekhema, is a historical figure of Wraeclast, a former Sekhema of the Maraketh. During the Cataclysm, it was Deshret who used her banner to seal the entrance to the Beast's lair and charged her dekhara to guard it. Her spirit was captured after her death and she spent centuries being tortured by Malachai's Godless Three – Doedre, Maligaro and Shavronne. Saving said spirit is the objective of the quest An Indomitable Spirit.

History

Deshret is the ancestor of Kira.

The Purity Rebellion

In return for her military support in the rebellion, Voll promised Sekhema Deshret the return of the Maraketh grazing lands stolen during the imperial conquest of the Vastiri Plains. The Red Sekhema agreed on one condition, that she might have Hector Titucius' skin with which to fashion a Rhoa saddle.

To this end, Voll and Deshret engineered a trap for General Titucius and his Vastiri Legion. The Maraketh had long been able to predict the comings and goings of the vast and vicious dust storms that constantly plague the plains. Deshret located one such fledgling maelstrom within a day's march of Titucius' camp. For his part, Voll identified a number of imperial spies amongst the Maraketh and fed them false information regarding a potential tribal uprising. Taking the bait, Titucius and his Gemling legion surround the supplied location, thus placing himself squarely in the path of Deshret's dust storm.

On the third Galvano of Vitali 1333 IC, the tempest descended upon Titucius' legion with blinding, deafening ferocity. Deshret's akhara, born and raised in dust and wind, swept through the legion, harvesting it like a field of ripe corn. Once storm and Maraketh fury had abated, the Vastiri Legion existed only as a multitude of dust-cloaked mounds. The Red Sekhema claimed her prize and it is said that there is no more comfortable saddle in all of Vastiri than Deshret's.

The Cataclysm

Deshret ventured into Wraeclast to fight the Beast. She found the entity's resting place inside the mountains near Highgate, but, instead of destroying it, Deshret used her banner to seal the entrance to the Beast's lair and charged her followers to guard it. Despite not dying inside the Mines, her spirit was captured after her death and she spent centuries being tortured by Malachai's Godless Three – Doedre, Maligaro and Shavronne. Her spirit is rescued by the player in the quest An Indomitable Spirit.
