Shrine of Athtar
With spear in hand and thunder in his wake, the God of the Morning Star will guide us to victory.Also known as the "God of the Morning Star", Athtar (also known as Attar or Ishtar) was worshipped throughout Arabia in late antiquity prior to the rise of Islam in the region. Often depicted with a spear-point and accompanied by an ibex, his sacred animal, Athtar was a god of war ("He Who is Bold in Battle") and the bringer of water and, in the more arid Arabian regions, the god of thunderstorms. In Canaanite legends, Athtar ascended to the throne of the late Ba'al Hadad to rule the world in his stead. Unfortunately, he soon proved himself unsuitable to rule - mainly as he was too small for Ba'al's throne - and was forced to return to the underworld. Temples to Athtar usually contained an open area with a fire in the centre, sharing the Zoroastrian concept of "holy fire". The kings of Saba even practised a rite knows as "Hunting the Game of Athtar and the Game of Kurum" (Kurum being a consort of Athtar) in order to make it rain.
