Vengeance Against Greater Lord Rukkhadevata

Genshin - Sumeru 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.
