Tenets of Faith
Obey the Law, always uphold Order, and always ensure Change is done lawfully and in pursuit of a Greater Order. Always work to create and keep a single, central Order wherever you go.
Nurture the seeds of the Arcane, no matter their form.
Always strive to improve yourself and others. Always collect more knowledge, information, and arcane might, and let no secret or mystery go unsolved.
Knowledge and Magic are not inherently good or evil. It is the person which gives purpose to the tool they wield, so use both as you wish.
Do not let knowledge or experience be lost. Train and teach others you deem worthy of receiving your instruction with both diligence and dedication.
Train the body and mind in equal measure, until you can crush your foes with muscle as easily as with spells. Train endlessly, and reach ever higher.
True Power is universal. Respect those with it, and demand respect from those without it.

History
Born as a child to the newly crowned Queen of The Kingdom of Aslaga, Asta was born as Asta Daenic, one of dozens of Daughters of her mother during the turbulent days of the Country's Founding, where all Dai-Yukai where blessed with great fertility and children reached maturity in a scant month for a week thanks to a blessing the species received from Nyfau, The Giantmother as a reward for their conquest of the Dwarven People. During the stabilization of the Kingdom, she rapidly grew in power over the course of scant months as she assisted the forces of her mother's country in putting down rebel elements and conquering Giant Tribes. Born with a rare gift of her mother's that she inherited that allows her to absorb creatures she tramples and thus gain their knowledge and experiences, she was considered a prodigy by her brethren, but her mother that she admired for her power and desire for order remained mostly distant towards her, to her annoyance and dismay. Quickly, her talent for the Arcane and Wizardry became known, and she was recognized as the first Dai-Yukai Wizard in eons, since before The Jotunhunts...and one of the most talented in history. Though she never quite developed her mother's taste for evil, she became a staunch believer in the ways of Law and Order after observing what her people were like before they founded this nation...a barbaric, savage one bereft of any law. So, as she rapidly ascended to power on the backs of the Dwarven rebels she crushed for the sake of her country's order, she was tasked by her mother with hunting down and disposing of the Former Dwarven Empire's mages, who had mostly escaped the country's destruction intact and had gone to ground in the tunnels beneath their former capital. Taking to her task diligently, she ground every last surviving Dwarven Mage into bloody smears beneath her trampling footfalls, using the rare gift of absorption she was born with to imprison and absorb them within her as she trampled them into smears...and in doing so, gained nearly the entire sum total of Arcane Knowledge of the former Dwarven Empire, absorbing hundreds of mages in her task to weed out the last Dwarven mages such that she became something beyond mortal ken. Now, she only distantly relates to her mother who was never too involved in her life to begin with and even now remains distantly proud but cold and detached towards her daughter(As all Dai-Yukai mothers tend to be), studying in her arcane tower and furthering her own studies while pursing the creation of her crowning achievment: An extraplanar college where mages from all over creation can come to learn the true ways of Arcane Magecraft, free of Tet's bias towards good or Vecna's bias towards evil. In the months since her ascension, Giants, Dwarven Slaves, and all manner of creatures with a talent for arcane magic have come to her tower and groveled before her to receive her tutelage...and as she has taken on more and more students, they have come to worship her as a divine being, seeing her unfathomable power and nigh-omniscience and praying to the Woman who has taken to teaching them the Arcane.
I am magic itself; the combined knowledge of a thousand mages. I have seen The Lattice, and I tell you: magic has no morality. Not good, not evil. A tool, like any other.
