Asura

Source Monster Core 2 pg. 42
Asuras claim to recall a time before anything existed, a time of perfect simplicity, peace, and innocence. The act of creation was also one of unfathomable tragedy, as it brought forth a corrupted multiverse filled with suffering and broken promises. As such, asura are unmoving bastions of an uncomfortable truth: existence is flawed, irredeemably cruel, and must be destroyed. While other creatures ignorantly accept the reality that has been thrust upon them or seek mastery over their imperfect circumstances, asuras work to undo this horrific injustice. They reject all consolation, happiness, pride, pleasure, and love in their mission, for these things are born from what they seek to unmake. Even power is only useful as a tool to bring about the dissolution of everyone and everything.

Despite their overarching goal, asuras aren't necessarily belligerent toward any denizens of the mortal Universe they encounter. They're not nihilistic, though many mistake them as such—asuras believe strongly in virtue, as it's virtue that drives them forward in their terrible task. Some will perform righteous deeds even as they plan to ultimately obliterate the beneficiaries of their charity, and many mortals consider them divine protectors worthy of worship.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Asura Ranas

The mightiest asuras are demigods in their own right, and despite knowing their divine power is forged from a corrupted lie, they do not eschew worship. Gaining the might of divinity offers the power to unmake reality, and the adoration of followers allows asura ranas to reveal the faults of existence to mortals.

Sidebar - Locations Asura Realms

Asuras command vast empires in the corners of Hell. While their realms are tiny compared to the massive hierarchy of Asmodeus and devilkind, they exist in a tacit agreement of coexistence with their diabolic neighbors

Many asuras were formerly rakshasas or yakshas, swayed to the asuras' cause and transformed as a result of their broken vows or failed duties. Residents of the Outer Planes are far less likely to be swayed but can sometimes become asuras as well— celestials when they lose faith in the system they once supported and fiends drawn in by the promise that they were judged, damned, and condemned by a flawed system.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Geryon

A former asura rana, Geryon joined the ranks of Hell, betraying his asura brethren to prove his loyalty to Asmodeus. Yet some believe that this was simply a ploy for Geryon to draw closer to true divinity, to gain the power necessary to unravel reality— including all of Hell's works.
