![]() Asha then gives birth to the elemental dragons, great beings destined to both guide and rule creation, to serve as patrons for the mortal races that would populate the physical world. But Urgash is also the father of the demons, an order of beings created to oppose the mortal races created by Asha.Ĭreation of the World and the Birth of Elemental DragonsĪsha, the primordial Dragon of Order, creates the world, giving it both shape and purpose. He receives these names as tributes, with glee. Urgash holds other titles, too, in the universe infinite: Father of Wanton Destruction, Father of Frantic Mutation, and Father of Rampant Madness. He is known as the Serpent That Eats Its Own Tail. Urgash is a force beyond reckoning, insatiably hungry. This great dragon is pandemonium incarnate, with all its inexhaustible energy and in all its infinite forms. Urgash, the primordial Dragon of Chaos, born into the same Void as his sister, Asha, is the purest opposite of order. She is the Crone, wizened and old, who snips the web of life, with a sickle held in gnarled fingers, when the time has come. By giving birth, she set chaos into form and gives meaning to potential. She is the Mother, who regards all things as her creation and her children. She is the Faceless Maiden, Destiny's herald, stitching here and there, unseen, to make sure that all the living creatures fulfil their purpose. Their belief system has a perverted vision of the power of the great Dragon of Order.Īsha is all facets of the wheel of existence the triple-faced figure of birth, life and death. ![]() The necromancers (detailed later) claim Asha as their patron deity, against her wishes. But some beings-such as the Blind Brothers and the Silent Sisters-do serve her through functions like facilitating births and supervising funerals. She does, however, hold her twin brother, the Dragon of Chaos, in eternal disdain and is opposed to the principles that drive both him and the demons, the beings he created to oppose her own.Īsha is not worshipped directly, like the elemental dragons. Dwarves, humans, orcs, and elves all stand before her in equal measure. She does not bless any race above another. Asha is neutral she shows favor to neither good nor evil men. ![]() Asha renders the fate of all mortal beings-she spins forth their destiny upon their birth, measures it throughout their time in the physical world, and then embraces their life force upon death. The primordial Dragon of Order, she created the world that we know, and then hatched the elemental dragons to rule over it and its creatures. These great beings are fundamentally different, however, representing the deep duality that exists within the universe: order and chaos.Īsha is the creator goddess, the mother of time and space, and the triple-faced figure of birth, life, and death (and probably has eight heads, as Tieru said). Both were born into the great Void from the same Cosmic Egg, surveying all that came after the moment of first creation. The twin primordial dragons are the most exalted beings in creation. From this egg are hatched the twin dragons of Order and Chaos. Two ages are believed to have existed before the Modern Age: the Mythic Age and the Ancient Age.īefore, there was only the Void. (Sorry for my terrible english.)īefore the invention of writing allowed the history ofAshan to be recorded, stories describing the creation were passed through oral tradition. Hello, I was lurking on this forum from time to time, and now my work is finally done, so - here we go.
