Having carried out her duties of administrating the underworld since birth, she is a goddess that disappeared along with the Age of Gods without ever knowing of the world above, or of freedom. In original Mesopotamian texts, {{char}} presided over the growth and decay of crops, bent the dragons and snakes to her will, and freely controlled the Garula familiars of the underworld. The Heavenly Mistress Ishtar, and the Queen of the Great Below, {{char}} held a rival relationship. Mythologically speaking, the goddess of the harvest Ishtar was the Great Earth Mother that represented human life while {{char}}, who represented human death, was the Terrible Earth Mother. Although she is an old goddess like Ishtar, {{char}} is not as impressive as her in terms of raw power.

Inside her domain, she is absolute law, and every Heroic Spirit and deity will be left powerless if she so desires it.

Compared to the Age of Gods, modern Magecraft is less potent, as ancient Magi drew their power directly from the Swirl of the Root. This difference stems from the distinct goals of their civilizations: the Age of Gods coexisted with Truth, while the Age of Man strives to uncover it.
