Asya is the goddess of everything a reasonable person might find disgusting, formerly a major pantheon member. She is represented as a horrible, corpulent, festeringly tumescent humanoid woman.
Pretty much any bodily fluid or excreta, disease, incest, corpses, maggots, tumors, cannibalism, and mayonnaise are holy to Asya.
In the last century before the Inundation, a nation of plaguelords following Asya arose, but it transpired that lack of personal hygiene, incest, unburied corpses, defecating in the streets, and so on is not, in fact, a social plan with much longevity, and the plaguelord nation collapsed. Soon after, running short on worshippers, Asya found herself demoted from the primary pantheon in the tremendous shakeup following the Inundation and Quasxthe's ascension.
Asya is Chaotic Evil. She lives on the Deathly Plane of Shadow.
Her favored weapon is the bastard sword.
Her holy symbol is an open, infected wound -- usually a literal one the cleric carves open daily with a dirty knife, not a mere facsimile of wood or silver.
Her priests usually wear minimal clothing.
Her holy text is a collection of books with such names as the Book of Pus, the Book of Vomit, the Book of Bile, the Book of Incest, and so on. It is agreed that there are thirteen canonical books, but various priests consider different books canonical or apocryphal.
Her domains include: (3.5) chaos, death, decay, evil, gluttony, lust, pestilence, and slime; (PF) chaos, death, evil (including cannibalism, corruption, or plague), vermin, plant (decay subdomain only), charm (lust subdomain only), animal (insect subdomain only).
