	{{{Footnotes}}}

Asmerdyas is a female half-field of exceptional yet eerie beauty. She rules with a host of erinyes from a castle of black basalt on one of the Lower Planes of Darkness.

When traveling about her domains she flies upon an advespa, with a pair of erinyes escorts and two advespa scouts.

If she visits the material plane she conceals her bat-like wings with magic but cannot hide her sharp teeth nor her red eyes.
