'''Djeru''' is an initiate and leader of the [[crop|Tah crop]] on [[Amonkhet (plane)|Amonkhet]]. 

==History==
===Youth===
Djeru used to be best friends with [[Samut]] and [[Nakht]]. After the death of Nakht outside the [[Hekma]], he became a devout follower of the [[God]]s and estranged from Samut.<ref name="Trespass">{{DailyRef|magic-story/trespass-2017-05-10|Trespass|[[Michael Yichao]]|May 10, 2017}}</ref>

===Trial of Ambition===
Djeru survived [[Bontu]]'s Trial of Ambition, despite the bumbling actions of [[Gideon Jura]].<ref name="Brazen">{{DailyRef|magic-story/brazen-2017-05-03|Brazen|[[Michael Yichao]]|May 3, 2017}}</ref>

===Trial of Zeal===
Samut appealed to [[Hazoret]] to stop Djeru from taking the last Trial. For this, she and the [[Gatewatch]] were forced by the Gods to fight the Trial of Zeal against Djeru and the other worthy initiates.<ref name="Judgment">{{DailyRef|magic-story/judgment-2017-05-17|Judgment|[[Doug Beyer]] and [[Alison Luhrs]]|May 17, 2017}}</ref> In a surprise move Samut managed to join forces with Djeru, convincing him to pray for her life to Hazoret. In exchange, she prevented Djeru's death with the spear of Hazoret, though Djeru didn't appreciate the gesture. This was just moments before the [[Accounting of Hours|Revelation]].

===Joining forces===
Djeru joined forces with Samut when the attacks began. Together with [[Hapatra]], they witnessed the death of [[Rhonas]], [[Kefnet]], and [[Oketra]].<ref name="Promise">{{DailyRef|magic-story/hour-promise-2017-06-28|The Hour of Promise|[[Alison Luhrs]]|June 28, 2017}}</ref> Afterwards, they were commanded by [[Hazoret]] to protect the survivors, to evacuate the city and to hide among the desert sands.<ref name="Favor">{{DailyRef|magic-story/favor-2017-07-05|Favor|[[Michael Yichao]]|July 5, 2017}}</ref> Delegating that job to [[Hapatra]], they returned to the damaged city and were able to save Hazoret from her fight with [[the Scorpion God]].<ref name="Endure">{{DailyRef|magic-story/endure-2017-07-19|Endure|[[Michael Yichao]]|July 19, 2017 }}</ref>

===Phyrexian Invasion===
Warned of the incoming invasion, the survivors of Amonkhet went into hiding, hoping to evade Phyrexian notice, but it turned out to be futile. Those who had survived [[Nicol Bolas]]'s ravaging of their plane, however, were tough and resourceful, and as soon as they gathered their bearings, they struck back with a vicious plan that relied heavily on [[Hazoret]], their protector god, with Djeru as her loyal lieutenant.

To their surprise, when they arrived at [[Naktamun]], they found [[the Scarab God]] and [[The Locust God|Locust God]] already there, engaged with the invaders. With the insect gods' undead hordes distracting the Phyrexians, Hazoret used her flaming spear to ignite the [[glistening oil]] within the Phyrexians' veins. As they writhed in agony, Djeru led a crop of elite fighters to dismember them, making sure they were out of the picture for good. In the aftermath, the inscrutable insect gods departed for the deep desert without a word.<ref>{{DailyRef|feature/the-legendary-team-ups-of-march-of-the-machine|The Legendary Team-Ups of March of the Machine|[[Emily Teng]]|April 13, 2023}}</ref>
