![]() With their help, Desmina was able to subdue the Soulless Horror and reunite her spirit with her body.Īfter becoming whole again, Desmina urged the raiders to help escort her through the River of Souls so they could reach the Statues of Grenth and defeat Dhuum's minions standing guard there in order to access Dhuum's sanctum. She enlisted the aid of Scholar Glenna and a group of raiders who had entered the Hall of Chains investigating the mysterious portal and the incursions of Underworld creatures into Central Tyria. It was not until 1330 AE that Desmina finally met with adventurers who would be strong enough to survive the battles to come. Some necromancers successfully crossed over to the Hall of Chains from a portal that had opened at Reaper's Gate, only to be swiftly killed by Dhuum's minions as well. At the same time Dhuum's skeletal minions poured out of portals leading to the Underworld in the swamp and at Reaper's Gate, targeting Grenth's followers who were investigating mysterious visions sent by Desmina. To stand a chance against Dhuum, she would need to reach out to Grenth's mortal followers in Tyria and ask for their aid against Dhuum like how the Reapers had relied on mortals centuries prior.ĭesmina eventually appeared in Godslost Swamp in Queensdale and attracted attention as a glowing wisp during the Shadow Behemoth's attack. Her spirit set up a barrier to keep the Soulless Horror at bay although it was only a temporary solution. In a last ditch effort to protect herself from Dhuum's corruption and to keep the spirits hiding in the Besieged Ruins safe, she split her spirit from her body, leading to her two halves becoming the Mysterious Spirit and the Soulless Horror. His acts slowly changed the very landscape of the Hall of Chains, and he either converted or slew the denizens of the Underworld who stood in his way.ĭesmina did her best to battle Dhuum's growing army but was eventually fighting a losing battle. Eventually Dhuum had become powerful enough to break free and began feasting on souls in greater quantities as he redirected the River of Souls to his former prison. When Grenth's influence faded as the gods withdrew from Tyria and eventually traveled deeper into the Mists, Dhuum grew stronger via devouring souls that had been slain in the Underworld. Hall of Chains ĭhuum, the former God of Death whose place in the pantheon Grenth had usurped, was breaking out of his bindings in the Hall of Chains despite the efforts made by Grenth's Seven Reapers and other denizens of the Underworld to contain him. Desmina accepted the offer and became the God of Death's First Follower in the Church of Grenth, swearing allegiance in life and beyond. Grenth answered Desmina's plea and offered her what she desired in exchange for her loyalty. In her grief and anger, she cursed the gods while wishing to devote herself to any god who would grant her revenge against those who had scorned her. According to the Scriptures of Grenth written in 48 BE, Desmina admired power and ambition and was scorned and exiled by her people. ![]() Little is known of Desmina's early history.
