亚山龙神——亚莎

The Primordial Dragons - 原始巨龙

Asha, the Dragon of Order - 亚莎，秩序之龙

她是造物女神，时空之母，其三面象征着出生、生命和死亡。

她创造了这个世界，并孵化了六只元素之龙以主宰这个世界。

她控制着所有凡间生灵的命运：她在生灵出生时织出它们的命运，在它们成长时测量它们的命运，并在它们死亡时剪断其命运。

亚莎保守着绝对的中立，她不会偏向好人或是坏人，矮人、精灵或是兽人。所有的一切都是亚莎的造物。

但是，她对她的孪生兄弟所代表的混乱信条，以及其疯狂的子嗣——恶魔表现出最直接的反对。

在造物之战后，亚莎退到了月亮中的安全角落，在那里休息、治疗和做梦。

月亮实际上是她所编织的环绕自身的茧，是宇宙之卵的象征，用以测量时间，同时也是巨龙最后的休憩之地，以及冥府之门（一个所有灵魂诞生并在死后回归之地）。

亚莎并没有被直接崇拜，她超脱于宗教体系之外。但是白色织者（White Weavers）、盲眼兄弟会和寂静修女会（Silent Sisters，一个遍布世界的组织，主要负责为妇女接生，预言，以及组织葬礼，通常都作为接生婆、先知和预言家、殓尸者和殡仪员）为她服务。

备注：亡灵巫师（墓地势力）选择亚莎作为其女神。但是他们对于亚莎的力量和特性的认知是扭曲的，是亚莎死亡面的异态。

She is the creator goddess, the mother of Time and Space, the triple-faced figure of birth, life and death.

She brought the world into existence, and then hatched the six Elemental dragons to rule over it.

She controls the fates of all mortal creatures – she spins forth their destiny at birth, measures it through their life, and cuts it at their death.

Asha is carefully neutral. She does not show favor to good men or evil men, Dwarves, Elves or Orcs. All the universe is her creation.

However, she is diametrically opposed to the Chaos principle embodied by her insane twin brother and his demented children, the Demons.

After the Wars of Creation, Asha retired to a safe refuge within the moon, there to sleep, heal and dream.

The Moon is in fact the cocoon she wove around herself. It is an image of the cosmic egg, a means to measure time, the final resting place of the dragons and the gate to the Underworld (where all souls come from and where all they go back after death).

Asha is not worshipped directly. She is above such things. But she is served by the White Weavers, the Blind Brothers, and the Silent Sisters who throughout the world, help the women give birth, perform auguries and supervise funeral rites (thus working as midwives, seers and oracles, embalmers and undertakers).

Note: The Necromancers (Necropolis faction) have chosen Asha as their patron-deity. However, their vision of her powers and attributes is twisted, a perversion of her death-dealing nature.

The Three Faces of Asha - 亚莎的三面

少女——命运——平衡——未来——半月

她是无颜少女，命运的使者，一针一针地编织着每个生命的历程，虽无形无象，却指引着所有生灵去发掘自身存在的价值。

她是“手”，掌握生死。

The Maiden –– FATE –– BALANCE –– THE FUTURE –– HALF MOON

The Blind Maiden is Destiny`s herald, stitching here and there, unseen, to make sure that all the living creatures fulfill their purpose.

She is the “Hands” that can clutch to save or grasp to kill.

母亲——生命——创造——现在——满月

她是万物之母，万物皆为其造物与子女。藉由分娩的过程，她化混乱为有形，让潜在成为可能。她从虚空中编织出最初的龙，创造了宇宙并助其成长。

她是“心”，无条件的爱，平等对待一切，无论善良或是邪恶。

The Mother –– LIFE –– CREATION –– THE PRESENT –– GIBBOUS / FULL MOON

The (ever-pregnant) Mother regards all things as her creation and her children. By giving birth, she set Chaos into form and gives meaning to potential. It was she who spun the first Dragons out of the Void and created the universe, and she continues to encourage it to grow.

She is the “Heart”, unconditional love, compassion for all – good and evil.

老妪——死亡——毁灭——过去——新月

她是老妪，在大限之时，用干枯的手挥动镰刀，剪断生命之网。

她是“头”，安详而睿智，全知全能。

The Crone –– DEATH –– DESTRUCTION –– THE PAST –– CRESCENT / NEW MOON

The Crone is the image of death. Wizened and old, she snips the thread of life with a sickle held in gnarled fingers.

She is the “Head”, serene intellect, gifted with infinite wisdom and omniscient knowledge.

Graphic description - 外表描述

亚莎是一只巨大的有翼巨龙，外貌优雅尊贵，十分符合其龙神之母和巨龙女皇的形象。她的外表棱角分明，而非一般巨龙那种圆滚滚的样子，她的身躯完美对称，看似复杂却又处处透着绝对的秩序。

她的鳞片为漆黑色，就像群星间的虚空的颜色，但是其皮肤上又闪烁着无数的光亮，就像成片的星星一般。她的眼睛闪耀着柔和的银色光芒，但是也能瞬间放射出新星一般的强光。

她的翅膀十分巨大，在外人看来好像无穷无尽一般。

Asha is a gigantic winged dragon with graceful and noble forms, as fit the Empress and mother of the Elemental Dragon Gods. Her features are angular rather than rounded, perfectly symmetrical, seemingly complex yet absolutely ordered.

Her scales are pitch black as the void between the stars, but myriads of lights constantly blink on her skin, in organized patterns, like microcosmic constellations. Her eyes shine softly with a silvery light but can also burst in a blinding flash like supernovas.

Her wings have a huge span that seems almost infinite to the beholder.
