![[AshaFinal.png]] # Asha _Spectral Entity | "The Calamity" | [[Beshaba]] | Deceased_ ## Summary [[Beregond]]'s twin sister who died in infancy after their mother [[Bronwyn]] prayed to [[Beshaba]] for help winning their father's love. Transformed into a malevolent spirit called "The Calamity," she remained bound to [[Beregond]] and served as the instrument of their family's curse. Appeared to [[Lynne]] after the [[Chezzaran]] fight, demanding [[Sister Garaele]] renounce [[Tymora]] and threatening her mother. During the final confrontation in [[Beshaba]]'s domain beneath [[Yartar]], [[Cinder]] delivered the killing blow by biting her spectral head. %% ## At a Glance Flickering shadow that shifts between innocent child and something terrible. "Eyes" appear as faint, glowing pinpricks in darkness. To [[Beregond]], occasionally appeared as the sister she could have been. Form sometimes takes the shape of victims' worst fears. Manifested on Blood Tor to taunt [[Sister Garaele]] with visions of loved ones in danger—[[Garth]] stumbling drunkenly while stalked, [[Petra]]'s mother opening a bloody dragon mask, [[Kasdeya Firesong]] hunted by [[Decima Iscitarn]]. Revealed the truth [[Tymora]] never explained: [[Beregond]] was [[Beshaba]]'s Chosen and [[Garaele]] was [[Tymora]]'s—a divine contest that endangered everyone [[Garaele]] loved. ## Personality Unpredictable, malevolent, tragically resentful. Adult knowledge with child's emotional maturity. Deep resentment toward the brother who lived the life she was denied. Emotionally volatile—doesn't grasp consequences. ## Quote _"Brother, you live the life I was denied. I will not rest until I claim what is mine."_ ## Background Born alongside [[Beregond]] as a twin. Died in infancy when their mother [[Bronwyn]] prayed to [[Beshaba]] to eliminate her romantic rival and win [[Garret]]'s love. [[Beshaba]] granted this wish at terrible price—claiming Asha's soul and transforming her into "The Calamity." As "The Calamity," she became the active instrument of [[Beshaba]]'s curse upon the family. She caused the boiling water that destroyed [[Catrin]]'s face, twisted [[Seren]]'s leg beyond healing, and orchestrated [[Garret]]'s death—all while remaining invisible to her oblivious twin. When [[Beshaba]] finally revealed the truth during [[Beregond]]'s transformation into her Chosen, brother and sister were united at last in their dark purpose. ## Stats **CR 15 Spectral Undead.** - **AC:** 17 | **HP:** 165 | **Speed:** fly 60 ft.
