History of Gishbanda
The Lord of the Good Tree
Gishbanda was born in the MÄtuÅ¡arrÅ«tu universe before the collapse of the Chronoverse. He is the son of The Maalik and Å ubur. He would become the husband of Gaphan the Eveningstar, sister of the Morningstar. Before he would venture to Turtle Island with his wife to avoid the Pyramid Wars, he would take up the banner of the House of Morningstar and spread the message of his brother-in-law across the distant lands and become known as the Morning-star of the Mesoamericans.
The story of his birth was a tragic one. His mother was obsessed with The Lord of Death, Kur, and allowed her obsession grow until she placed him under a spell so he would get her pregnant. After the spell wore off, The Maalik made sure she would not be able to see him at his temple anymore. However, once he was born Fandorah, The Guider would bring them to Qur so her adopted father could make a decision on what to do with them.
Gishbanda was accepted begrundingly as the son of The Maalik and given his own territory. However, he was placed in charge of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden in partnership with Dumuzid, the Morningstar who was placed as a gate guardian of the Garden of Eden. He has the ability to transform into a feathered serpent and was a god of vegetation.
