Ishtar-Mardek
In the ancient times of the Babylonians, there once lived a
priestess of immeasurable elegance. This woman enraptured the hearts of men as
she watched over the ancient Babylonian Lunar Calendar; however this would
ultimately lead to her downfall.
As the high priestess, Ishtar-Mardek was worshipped like a
Goddess, men would shower her with gifts and praise for all she did for them,
and each time they did it only served to increase her vanity, she would tease
her worshippers forcing them to do her bidding and ultimately gaining what she
desired. The King in particular took the priestess into his heart and
eventually wed her making her queen, but this was short lived. After returning
back to the castle after a day amongst the people, he found his Queen in
embrace of one of his royal advisors within their chamber; the King became
enraged and executed his once closest ally where he stood. Ishtar using all her
wiles, attempt for the king to spare her but the king was not fooled; he exiled
her from the Kingdom and left her to rot in the world outside.
Many years passed for Ishtar in her exile, this began to
warp her mind and she became increasingly more vindictive by the hour. She felt
cheated out of what was rightfully hers, the Kingdom of which she received
Exile. Her vile and sickening thoughts led her to begin recruiting those who
had also been banished by the King, causing rebellion and unrest within the
small towns spread throughout the lands as more and more men joined her cause.
Soon she had an army that rivalled the kings, men both loved
and feared her as they began to dub her ‘Ishtar the Supreme’, they would do
anything for their Queen and soon marched on the Kingdom that they once called
home.
The kingdom stood no chance against Ishtar and her
unstoppable force, men, women and children all perished to their blades and the
ruins that surrounded them. The King soon surrendered to the woman that he once
loved, yet Ishtar showed no mercy in beheading him where he stood.
The once peaceful kingdom was now under her control, she
used her vicious and tyrannical mind to deceive her people and keep them under
her power. Many tried to kill her during her reign but all met their end as she
brutally murdered them without care or emotion.
It is said that within the ruins of the Kingdom of Hanging
Gardens that Ishtar sits silently on her throne. Her hatred for all keeping her
alive but it is unknown what she is waiting for, perhaps death? Or waiting for
the right time for the world to know her true strength?
Appearance
Ishtar has, long flowing black hair, dark blue eyes, and
pale olive skin. She wears a cowl around her head and a shawl that rests on her
shoulders. Jewellery all up and down her arms, she has the symbol of the moon
emblazoned on her chest above her breasts, a dress that opens up at her
cleavage, wrapped in a cloth belt, a skirt that flows from the right side down
to her left foot, long boots that reach her knees, carries a sceptre with the
crest of the moon atop of it.
