Vengeance Against Greater Lord Rukkhadevata

The Eremites claim that Greater Lord Rukkhadevata betrayed King Deshret. She apparently destroyed their ancient civilization, forcing them to flee until King Deshret's eventual death, though the exact cause is unknown.

Due to their resentment for Rukkhadevata, there exists a plan by the Ayn Al-Ahmar that would punish devotees of the Greater Lord as revenge for the events in the past.

Impending Resurrection

During the events of the Archon Quest, when the Traveler and Paimon was conversing with The Eremites in Port Ormos, they mentioned about The Oracles foreseeing his return.

Power Transfered to Apep

In Nahida's Act 2 Story Quest, King Deshret (also known as Amun) was an ambitious being who gained power through forbidden knowledge. They created a powerful kingdom in the domain of Apep, the Dendro Dragon.

This is only under the condition that Apep will claim Amun's power and knowledge after their death.
