內容簡介
She is the creator goddess, the mother of Time and Space, the triple-faced figure of birth, life and death.
她是造物女神，時空之母，其三面象徵著出生、生命和死亡。
She brought the world into existence, and then hatched the six Elemental dragons to rule over it.
她創造了這個世界，並孵化了六隻元素之龍以主宰這個世界。
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.
她控制著所有凡間生靈的命運：她在生靈出生時織出它們的命運，在它們成長時測量它們的命運，並在它們死亡時剪斷其命運。
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.
亞莎保守著絕對的中立，她不會偏向好人或是壞人，矮人、精靈或是獸人。所有的一切都是亞莎的造物。
However, she is diametrically opposed to the Chaos principle embodied by her insane twin brother and his demented children, the Demons.
但是，她對她的孿生兄弟所代表的混亂信條，以及其瘋狂的子嗣——惡魔錶現出最直接的反對。
After the Wars of Creation, Asha retired to a safe refuge within the moon, there to sleep, heal and dream.
在造物之戰後，亞莎退到了月亮中的安全形落，在那裡休息、治療和做夢。
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).
月亮實際上是她所編織的環繞自身的繭，是宇宙之卵的象徵，用以測量時間，同時也是巨龍最後的休憩之地，以及冥府之門（一個所有靈魂誕生並在死後回歸之地）。
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).
亞莎並沒有被直接崇拜，她超脫於宗教體系之外。但是白色織者（White Weavers）、盲眼兄弟會和寂靜修女會（Silent Sisters，一個遍布世界的組織，主要負責為婦女接生，預言，以及組織葬禮，通常都作為接生婆、先知和預言家、殮屍者和殯儀員）為她服務。
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.
備註：亡靈巫師（墓地勢力）選擇亞莎作為其女神。但是他們對於亞莎的力量和特性的認知是扭曲的，是亞莎死亡面的異態。
亞莎的三面 - The Three Faces of Asha
The Maiden –– FATE –– BALANCE –– THE FUTURE –– HALF MOON
少女——命運——平衡——未來——半月
The Blind Maiden is Destiny`s herald, stitching here and there, unseen, to make sure that all the living creatures fulfill their purpose.
她是無顏少女，命運的使者，一針一針地編織著每個生命的歷程，雖無形無象，卻指引著所有生靈去發掘自身存在的價值。
She is the “Hands” that can clutch to save or grasp to kill.
她是“手”，掌握生死。
The Mother –– LIFE –– CREATION –– THE PRESENT –– GIBBOUS / FULL MOON
母親——生命——創造——現在——滿月
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.
她是萬物之母，萬物皆為其造物與子女。藉由分娩的過程，她化混亂為有形，讓潛在成為可能。她從虛空中編織出最初的龍，創造了宇宙並助其成長。
She is the “Heart”, unconditional love, compassion for all – good and evil.
她是“心”，無條件的愛，平等對待一切，無論善良或是邪惡。
The Crone –– DEATH –– DESTRUCTION –– THE PAST –– CRESCENT / NEW MOON
老嫗——死亡——毀滅——過去——新月
The Crone is the image of death. Wizened and old, she snips the thread of life with a sickle held in gnarled fingers.
她是老嫗，在大限之時，用乾枯的手揮動鐮刀，剪斷生命之網。
She is the “Head”, serene intellect, gifted with infinite wisdom and omniscient knowledge.
她是“頭”，安詳而睿智，全知全能。

外表描述 - Graphic description
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.
亞莎是一隻巨大的有翼巨龍，外貌優雅尊貴，十分符合其龍神之母和巨龍女皇的形象。她的外表稜角分明，而非一般巨龍那種圓滾滾的樣子，她的身軀完美對稱，看似複雜卻又處處透著絕對的秩序。
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.
她的鱗片為漆黑色，就像群星間的虛空的顏色，但是其皮膚上又閃爍著無數的光亮，就像成片的星星一般。她的眼睛閃耀著柔和的銀色光芒，但是也能瞬間放射出新星一般的強光。
Her wings have a huge span that seems almost infinite to the beholder.
她的翅膀十分巨大，在外人看來好像無窮無盡一般。
