Asion, God of Punishment and Penance
Among the lower deities, Asion emerged as one of the earliest—a creation attributed to Kritanta. Thier inception, marked by the demise of the first murderer, foreshadowed their role as an arbiter of the moral tapestry—a deity charged with navigating the intricate threads of justice and redemption This act of divine genesis set the stage for Asion's subsequent role as the overseer of a realm both feared and revered—the hells.
In crafting this realm, Asion created a space where mortals who had walked the path of wrongdoing in life would find themselves confronted by the consequences of their actions. Within the hells, transgressors would grapple with their misdeeds, and those with potential for redemption would tread the arduous path towards atonement.In service of this somber duty, Asion carved out a unique niche among the pantheon of lesser deities. Unlike their counterparts, who celebrated the feats and aspirations of mortals, Asion's purpose lay in rectifying their failings. This divergence often drew comparisons between Asion and Tuher—the God of Deception and Trickery—though the two shared a complex relationship. While Tuher reveled in the art of falsehoods and the ensuing chaos, Asion distanced themselves from the grim task they had undertaken. They harbored no delight in their responsibilities, viewing them as an intrinsic, albeit burdensome, facet of the world's equilibrium.
Devotees of Asion primarily encompass those who seek redemption for past transgressions, along with those who champion the cause of justice and punishment for ongoing wrongdoings. The redemption sought under Asion's guidance occasionally mirrors the broken oaths made by individuals—to their fellow humans, higher beings, and even the gods themselves. In moments of earnest reflection, they seek to mend the fabric of their integrity, aspiring to reshape their destiny through acts of contrition and penance. Their journey mirrors the eternal struggle of mortals to find equilibrium between remorse and transformation.
