Ard is the God of Divine Fire, purging away all things evil and dark. Stripping away lies from the world with his divine light and biting flames. The concept of the purifying flame is something uncommon in the West, making Ard the closest representation of it to the Pantheons of Europe and North Africa. His flames can purge things from sicknesses to lies, though accepting his purification is something that only incredibly brave Scions would dare to do, for there is no doubt that it is a painless experience.

When his Pantheon fought the great dragon Azhi Dahaka, likely during the First Titanomachy, Mithra fell to the great beast. Right before the solar God could be slain, Atar intervened and spoke to the great dragon who was infuriated that someone dared to intervene in his impending destruction of Mithra, though he was intrigued in the presence of Atar, and threatened to extinguish Atar's eternal flames, wanting to test if they were truly eternal. Atar responded by igniting the ground below the great serpent, and threatening the dragon that he would have the flames lick up, consuming his genitals and pour out of his three maws. Deciding that he did not want to endure that, the dragon quickly retreated.
