Aasterinian
From 1d4chan
Aasterinian is the Dragon Goddess of Change in
Dungeons & Dragons. This cheeky, irreverent demigoddess Aasterinian
appears as a huge female Brass Dragon, and serves as the
Messenger of Io, which also acts as her title.
Relishing in the disturbing of the status quo, and delighting
in learning through play, invention and pleasure,
Aasterinian is an unpredictable deity. She assigns tasks to
her worshippers on a whim, almost always involving travel
or undergoing new experiences; in her viewpoint, the
journey is more important than the destination. She
Aliases Messenger of Io
encourages her followers to think for themselves, and
relying on the opinions or words of others is one of her few Alignment Chaotic Neutral
sins. Divine Rank Demigod
5E: Greatwyrm
Needless to say, she requires little in the way of formal Pantheon Draconic
rites; every time a worshipper learns or creates something Portfolio Learning, Invention,
new, she is honoring Aasterinian. Likewise, her prayers Pleasure
tend to be quick expressions of the desire for change, with
Domains Chaos, Dragon, Luck,
the most iconic daily prayer being "let today differ from
Travel, Trickery, Charm,
both yesterday and tomorrow", whilst she prefers small,
Illusion, Trade
quiet, hidden shrines rather than grand, formal temples.

Aasterinian is no racist; she happily accepts the worship of Outlands
anyone who can share in her love of innovation and 5E: Prime Material Plane
whimsy, although she does feel a particular fondness for Worshippers Chaotic Dragonbloods,
dragonblood races, as you'd expect. Her clerics tend to be Free Thinkers
draconics, Half-Dragons, or Spellscales, and it is that last Favoured Weapon Scimitar, claw
race that is often said to be the focus of her attention.
The Herald of Aasterinian upon the Prime Material is an ancient brass dragon, distinguished by its distinctively
colored forehead; turquoise-sheened, save for the golden star at its center. Her allies are any dragon or
dragonblood creature of chaotic or neutral alignment. Her church gets on best with the churchs of other
"friendly trickster" type deities, such as Garl Glittergold, Fharlanghn, and Olidammara.
In 5th edition, she's no longer a deity but a Greatwyrm, an exceptionally powerful dragon that exists on multiple
parallel realities simultaneously. Her messaging ability stems from her heightened dragonsight, allowing all her
copies across the multiverse to be on the same page with uncanny accuracy, even by greatwyrm standards.
