## Desirat [[Desirat]] was the companion and mount of [[Asmodeus]] during the great wars of [[the Calamity]]. Before [[the Divergence]], she was torn from her master by the remnants of the origin [[the Cerberus Assembly]], who wished to study and harvest the phoenix’s fiendish form for their own purposes. After the assembly was destroyed in the war and the pantheon was banished from [[Exandria]], the phoenix remained chained beneath [[the Cyrios Mountains]]. Her shadowed flames have scalded and scarred the realm above for centuries, giving birth to the thermal phenomena surrounding [[Mount Metiri]] in [[Western Wynandir]]. [[Desirat]]’s sanity has fractured in isolation, lending to delusions of divinity, which she perpetuates in the hearts of those who carry a seed of fiery vengeance by reaching out to them through dreams and visions. Though she once amassed a following with the aid of [[Uk’otoa]]’s worshipers, who nearly dug deep enough to free her, her followers were then subjugated and scattered when [[the Julous Dominion]] took power in [[the Marrow Valley]]. She now speaks to the minds of those who lie spurned and angry at night, calling them to unlock their inner flame and let [[Desirat]] aid them in their vengeance. **_Appearance._** [[Desirat]] is depicted as a giant phoenix of dark purple down, wreathed in purple-black flames. Her sword-like beak is pointed and smooth, while her three onyx eyes peer from beneath bright, burning lids.
