Ashava the True Spark

[Echoen]

This thread is to aggregate and put together every tidbit if information on the Empyreal Lord Ashava the True Spark.

The purpose of this is because in my game I have chosen her as my deity, and the information on http://www.pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Ashava is the bare bones to worship her but not enough to know who she really is. What's her history? How did she attain divinity? What is her personality and what are her goals? Who are her allies?

Any assistance in this matter would be appreciated.

The recently released Chronicles of the Righteous has some information. It's only about half a page, but it's more than what is on the wiki.

There's also what's in Magnimar: City of Monuments, but most of that material is presented in Chronicles of the Righteous.

She seems like she'd be pretty tight with Desna and her running crew. Heavy Varisian roots. An excellent choice for "ghost whisperer" types, actually. If your group uses the White Necromancer from Kobold Quarterly, Ashava is probably the best fit for a patron for those that counsel, comfort, and guide the dead.

Taking what's said about her in the Magnimar book literally, she might actualy be offering wandering spirits a path to rest that bypasses Pharasma's judgment. For those undead that don't require force, Ashava seems to offer a much gentler hand to help them along. In fact, ghosts are listed among her usual worshippers.

Hot damn, so are good-aligned lycanthropes. And loners.

So basically, Ashava will take your spirit revering folk(particularly Varisians) and your goths. ;)
