At'ar the Merciless, also known as the Yellow Goddess, was a Bedine deity. She was the sun goddess of the Bedine. She was depicted as an old, spiteful woman. The Bedine believed she was married to Kozah (Talos), but she was having an affair with N'asr, the Lord of the Dead. Whenever night falls, according to the Bedine, it was At'ar forsaking her lawful husband to sleep in the tent of the Lord of the Dead. In retribution, Kozah sent storms that represented the god's fury at his wife's faithless nature.[1]
In the Age of Netheril, she was known as Amaunator, a male sun god. As At'ar, she tended to ignore her worshipers among the Bedine.[2]
