![[AshaPathfinder-v2.webp]] # Asha _Spectral Entity | [[Doombringers]] | [[Yartar]]_ ## Summary [[Beregond]]'s twin sister, who died in infancy after their mother [[Bronwyn]] prayed to [[Beshaba]] to win their father's love. Transformed into a malevolent spirit called "The Calamity," she remained bound to [[Beregond]] as the instrument of their family's curse. The party destroyed her in [[Beshaba]]'s domain beneath [[Yartar]], where [[Cinder]] delivered the killing blow. %% ## Now _Deceased — [[Cinder]] bit off her spectral head in [[Beshaba]]'s domain beneath [[Yartar]]._ ## Appearance A flickering shadow that shifts between an innocent child and something terrible, its eyes faint glowing pinpricks in the dark; its form can take the shape of a victim's worst fears. ## Personality Unpredictable, malevolent, tragically resentful — adult knowledge with a child's emotional maturity. She resents the brother who lived the life she was denied and is emotionally volatile, unable to grasp consequences. ## Quote _"Brother, you live the life I was denied. I will not rest until I claim what is mine."_ ## Connections **[[Beregond]]** — twin brother, to whom she was bound as the family curse. **[[Bronwyn]]** — mother, whose prayer to [[Beshaba]] cost Asha her soul. **[[Beshaba]]** — the goddess who claimed her and made her "The Calamity." ## Background **The Bargain:** Born alongside [[Beregond]], she died in infancy when [[Bronwyn]] prayed to [[Beshaba]] to eliminate a romantic rival and win [[Garret]]'s love. [[Beshaba]] granted the wish at a terrible price — claiming Asha's soul. **The Calamity:** As the active instrument of [[Beshaba]]'s curse, she caused the boiling water that destroyed [[Catrin]]'s face, twisted [[Seren]]'s leg beyond healing, and orchestrated [[Garret]]'s death, all while invisible to her oblivious twin. **The Reveal:** She appeared to [[Lynne]] after the [[Chezzaran]] fight, demanding [[Sister Garaele]] renounce [[Tymora]]. She later revealed the truth [[Tymora]] never explained: [[Beregond]] was [[Beshaba]]'s Chosen and [[Garaele]] was [[Tymora]]'s, a divine contest that endangered everyone [[Garaele]] loved. ## Stats **Base:** CR 15 Spectral Undead. - AC 17, HP 165, fly 60 ft.
