Path of Ascension Zealots (Cult)

During the chaotic period after the Spell first descended, numerous powerful powers competed for the right to shape the world as they saw fit. Some are more terrible than others.^[2]

Asterion comes from a small group of Path of Ascension zealots, who were in favor of abandoning the waking world and believing that the Nightmare Spell was meant to pave the way for a new beginning. They established an isolated colony in the Dream Realm not long after the first Masters Ascended. He was born there, the first human child born in the Dream Realm. The original Dreamspawn.^[2]

According to Mordret, the reclusive extremists did not last long, as their colony was eventually overtaken by Nightmare Creatures. Asterion was the only one who survived. He found his way to Bastion, met Anvil, and was brought back to the waking world, joining Broken Sword's cohort.^[2]

• Asterion is the sole survivor of the first human colony established in the Dream Realm, which was founded by the zealots of the Path of Ascension.^[1]
