==General==

'''Asne Zeramene''' was an [[Aes Sedai]] of the [[Black Ajah]], though she posed as [[Green]] ({{tsr|38}}).

Asne had dark, tilted eyes, and a bold nose ({{tsr|38}}). She had high cheekbones, these features marking her as [[Saldaea]]n ({{tfoh|18}}). 

Asne left the [[White Tower]] with [[Liandrin]] and eleven other Black sisters. They traveled to [[Tear (City)|Tear]] and stayed in [[the Stone]] until [[Rand]] claimed it. They then fled Tear and went to [[Tanchico]] in search of the male ''[[male a'dam|a'dam]]'' ({{tsr|38}}). Asne and the other sisters moved into the [[Panarch]]'s Palace to search for the ''a'dam'', but riots in Tanchico forced them to flee once more ({{tfoh|18}}). 

The Black sisters regrouped in [[Amador]] and [[Moghedien]] arrived to take control of them. Asne was ordered to search for [[Nynaeve]] along with Liandrin, [[Chesmal]], [[Temaile]], and [[Eldrith]] ({{tsr|38}}). When Moghedien discovered that [[Nynaeve]] was traveling in a menagerie, Asne and the others, minus Liandrin, followed her to [[Samara]] ({{tsr|34}}). Moghedien ordered them to wait there until she returned, but she never did. Asne stayed in Samara until Eldrith's [[Warder]] found them. They then left Samara and traveled to [[Caemlyn]], once again in search of Nynaeve ({{wh|10}}). 

Once in Caemlyn, the Black sisters spied on Elayne and the [[Royal Palace]] ({{wh|10}}). They were also aware of the other Black sisters in the city. When Elayne tried to arrest [[Marillin]] and [[Falion]], the two groups of Black sisters joined forces. They captured Elayne and killed [[Sareitha]] and [[Vandene]]. The sisters took Elayne outside of the city but were then attacked by [[Birgitte]] and her army. Asne used her ''[[ter'angreal]]'' to [[balefire]] the soldiers but was killed by [[Chanelle]], a [[Windfinder]] ({{kod|32}}).

==Miscellaneous==

*Asne had the long, fluted rod ''ter'angreal'' that produced balefire ({{wh|10}}). She also had a ''ter'angreal'' that could kill or stun a person ({{kod|32}}). 

*Asne disliked [[Mili Skane|Shiaine]] ({{kod|32}}).

==Quotes==

"Asne Zeramene, with her dark, tilted eyes and bold nose, looked almost demure in pale grey, plainly cut and high-necked, but Liandrin had heard her regret leaving her Warders behind more than once." (Liandrin about Asne; {{tsr2|Chapter 38}}). 

"Asne's tilted eyes, high cheekbones and strong nose marked her Saldaean, and she had all the vaunted Saldaean boldness. If she counselled against, if her dark eyes showed a tinge of fear, then it was surely best to grovel however much was needed to make Moghedien relent." (Liandrin about Asne and Moghedien; {{tfoh2|Chapter 18}}). 

"Asne let herself feel her four Warders, coming ever closer. She had stopped masking herself when they left Samara. Only Powl was a Friend of the Dark, of course, yet the others would do whatever she said, believe whatever she told them." (Asne about her Warders; {{wh2|Chapter 10}}). 

"Asne lay spreadeagled on the road, her empty eyes staring at the sky; the [[shield]] on her was unneeded." ([[Elayne]]; {{kod2|Chapter 32}}).
