|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 [[Minthal]] 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 is credited with guiding the original spread of the Deep Roads.

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.

~~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~~.
