Atrius is the Atakasi goddess of the skies and storms. She is seen as a motherly figure, bringing rain and thunder to nourish the earth and her people. As the goddess of the world, she is responsible for all natural disasters and phenomena, including lightning strikes, tornadoes, and hurricanes. This association further connects her to Magmus. Her power over the elements is vast and fearsome, making her a revered and respected figure among the bilari. She came to be seen as the prime goddess of the bilari, and the one they most worshiped. She was later associated with the largest moon, Lunaa. Her original bilari names, Aatrii or Atrii, were slowly changed to Atrius in accordance with the Pantheon of Eights.
However, as time passed, the worship of her siblings decreased while Atrius' influence only grew stronger. The skies themselves have become her domain, making her a key figure of worship for sailors and mountaineers alike. Despite her awe-inspiring power, she is not seen as a malevolent or destructive force. Rather, she is viewed as a benevolent mother or daughter who brings life—giving rain and the promise of a bountiful harvest.
Some myths believe that the goddess Aethys stole a part of Omegus' soul to create the three siblings, acting as a sort-of mother figure to them.
As siblings, Aatrii, Aklim, and Aesin shared a close bond despite their vastly different personalities. Aatrii, as the eldest sister, often took on a nurturing role towards her younger siblings. She offered guidance to Aklim on hunting practices and to Aesin on matters of defense, before his fall. As the goddess of the skies and storms, her domains often intersect with those of her siblings. Aklim’s hunting excursions often require good weather and clear skies, while Aesin’s conquests often required favorable weather conditions for battle, making Aatrii’s control over the skies crucial for her siblings.
