| abstract | - Along with her guides Janiri and Lucen, Athame is credited for helping to bring enlightenment to the ancient asari, with Janiri teaching them agricultural practices (including the seasons), Lucen teaching them about the stars, and Athame teaching them mathematics and medicine. The ancient asari also believed that Athame protected their homeworld Thessia from attacks by other, jealous gods. The Temple of Athame on Thessia still stands as a reminder of the influence that Athame worship had on asari culture. The temple displays various relics attributed to Athame, including murals, busts of Janiri and Lucen, Athame's sword and shield, and fragments of the Athame Codex, an ancient text that explains how asari learned mathematics and agriculture. Other relics not kept at the temple include the Rings of Alune, which were worn by an asari who was believed to have been taught medicine by Athame herself. As an homage to the goddess, three of the planets in the Parnitha system, the asari's home system, are named for Athame, Janiri, and Lucen.
