	{{{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 feathered wings with magic but cannot hide her sharp teeth nor her red eyes.
