|Introduction='''Desame''' is an ~~Ascended~~ Spirit associated with desire~~, accumulation,~~ and ~~the refusal to settle~~. Though invoked primarily among the [[Minthari]] of Terasil, Desame's influence extends throughout the [[Deep Roads]] and beyond, wherever ambition seeks to reshape the static world. In contrast to the stabilizing memory of [[Varunel]], Desame represents the friction of want—an energy that defies rest, reopens what was sealed, and seeks more even after purpose has been fulfilled.

|Introduction='''Desame''' is an [[Ascendant Spirit]] associated with desire and greed. Though invoked primarily among the [[Minthari]] of [[Terasil]], where her influence is the strongest, Desame's influence extends throughout the [[Deep Roads]] and beyond.

Desame is not regarded as malevolent, but her presence is rarely calm. She is invoked in moments of risk-taking, negotiation, invention, and transgression. Her aspect is often depicted abstractly—shifting spirals, divided circles, or vaults with no base—emphasizing motion, layering, and incompleteness. Some representations show her as a figure wrapped in cords or contracts, always stepping past what was agreed.

Among the Minthari, Desame is honored primary through mining and the accumulation of wealth.

|Significance and worship=Desame’s influence has shaped Minthari trade law, inheritance structure, and underground cartography. She is credited with guiding the original spread of the Deep Roads and with ensuring that no vault remains

Among the Minthari, Desame is honored through ~~craft, exploration,~~ and ~~managed instability~~. ~~Vault-keepers~~ and trade~~-binders conduct rites of measured desire before large transactions or exploratory digs. In these practices~~, ~~Desame is not worshipped blindly, but **bargained with**—given offerings, conditions~~, and ~~thresholds~~. ~~The ability to walk away~~ is ~~considered sacred to her name~~.

sealed forever.

~~While~~ Desame ~~has no fixed temple, she~~ is ~~honored in **mobile reliquaries**: transportable shrines containing layered ledgers, gemstone fragments, or fragments~~ of ~~broken agreements. These reliquaries move along trade routes and between generations, reinforcing her identity as a spirit of motion rather than place~~.
