Editing Ashtra (section)

==Concepts of the Faith==


Ashtra is an ancient goddess by moral reckoning, though she is still a worldly deity. It is possible that she is somehow connected to Yog-Sothoth, some small avatar or an agent of its will (much like Ragnora and Drakahnia are to Shub-Niggurath), though there are many who view her as a sort of force of destiny rather than as a thinking being. However she came into being or whatever she truly is, she is worshiped as the goddess of Fate and as such is said to have interests in making sure that everything follows its natural course. To this end her faith fights against anything that perverts destiny, such as undeath, manipulation of time, and anything beyond temporary planar breaches. Her clerics teach a sometimes grim dogma that everything is preordained, believing that all that happens was meant to happen, but at the same time encouraging all to strive for the best that they can attain stating that while the future’s destination is set, its course is fluid.
