Asset Skills: Integrity, Leadership
Virtues: Honesty and Free Will
Scent the Divine: Juniper and sandalwood smoldering in a crackling fire, a murmured prayer.
Yazata Motif
An offering of oil, prayer, and sandalwood to a sacred fire proves one’s purity, coaxing magic to leap forth from the flames.
The Threefold Path encompasses the dictums of Good Thoughts, Good Words, and Good Deeds. Taken together, they create the beautiful and multifaceted force that is Asha. Asha is Truth; it is Being; it is Right-Working; it is Cosmic Order; it is Harmony. When Asha is present, the whole of reality is greater than the sum of its parts. When Asha is absent, conflict divides individuals and thwarts progress. Mortals, Scions, and Gods attune themselves to Asha to aid in the eternal struggle against the Titans. With this Purview, the Yazata and their Scions harmonize with Asha to expand their senses and empower their oaths.
Yazata Signature Purview: Asha
Asha Innate Purview
Asha requires a balance between Honesty and Free Will. You may attempt a Feat of Scale when rolling to take an action that moves you toward the center of your Virtue track.
VIRTUES
Honesty vs. Free will
Honesty is a way of life for the Yazata. Truthful speech is the highest Virtue that helps a soul cross the Chinvat Bridge to Garö-Demánæ, but Honesty is more than words: it’s the refusal to look away from the face of evil, and the commitment to confront The World’s ugliness with that unwavering eye. Free will is the conviction that everyone has the freedom to choose what they stand for.
