Asha the Silent

Asha the Silent was a wolf and then High Moonmistress of Moonshadow Hall in Yhaunn. She was known for never speaking during her time at Moonshadow Hall in the 8 century DR.

History
Asha was originally the wolf Halftail, a companion of Niree Swifthands. Niree was a lycanthrope and member of the New Moon Pact, and was executed when the Pact was declared heretical by the church of Selûne in the. Halftail avoided capture by the forces led by the Bright Lady's Tower and was transformed into a human by the hand of Selûne, taking the name Asha. She was charged by the goddess with protecting the legacy of the New Moon Pact and safeguarding the Selûnite faith against threats from within and without.

Later in that year, she joined Moonshadow Hall as a priestess, and on the Feast of the Moon she began writing an untitled tome that described the true nature of the New Moon Pact. In the same text, she also recorded the sacred rite that allowed a lycanthrope to join the Pact and become empowered by Selûne. After completing the tome, she hid it in the archives of the temple so that it might be found in the future and be used to redeem the Pact. She eventually became the High Moonmistress of Moonshadow Hall despite never speaking a word.

Asha's hopes for the Pact's legacy were ultimately fulfilled in the, when the werewolf High Moonmistress Feena Archwood found the tome and recreated the Pact.
