Ishtar was one of two Untheric goddesses of love and war (the other was her progenitor, Inanna). She departed the world of Toril soon after Enlil did. In her place, she left her portfolio and the right to use her name and appearance to the Mulhorandi goddess Isis. Her holy symbol was a female hand clutching a rod of blue crystal.

Ishtar was portrayed as a beautiful human female with blond hair and blue eyes. She could change her shape at will, but never appeared in any shape save that of a beautiful woman. She wore the headdress of love and war, which forced any male she was truly interested in to fall passionately in love with her, and gave her the same powers as whatever enemy she fought. She drove a flying chariot pulled by seven enchanted lions. When in the chariot, nothing made of metal could touch Ishtar.
