Isjtar

<<<  Index  >>>

Isjtar is an Accadeic goddess, worshipped in Mesopatamia.  Her name means 'star' or 'womb'. She is a fighter, the goddess of war and of wisdom, destroyer of the land. Isjtar is the wargoddess as the morning star 'Dilbah' and goddess of love as the evening star 'Zib'. 
Gods and Goddesses don't reveal themselves too often to mankind. In the middle ages, at the time the Red knight battled against the threat of chaos and war, Isjtar came down to earth in a human form to aid this Red Knight in his fight against Demoniah.
