Ereshkigal

The goddess of the underworld in Brimir mythology. She wields a spear-shaped cage, capable of skewering her enemies, trapping souls, and summoning lightning at will. She is the ruler of the underworld, and is to be feared.From the day of her birth, she was entrusted with the governance of the underworld. When Ishtar came to Leriande, she appeared in the forming the new underworld around her without ever knowing the surface world or freedom.She claims her job is simply to watch over the souls of humans as befits a goddess of the underworld. She does, however, have this complaint: "...I really don't like it when too many people flock to the underworld all at once. Making cages to trap souls is a pain...and I'm not sure if I can make this place comfortable for everyone..." As you can see, she doesn't do a spectacular job of hiding just how much she likes taking care of people. She is truly the underworld's (red) angel.

According to mythology, she governed the growth and decay of plants, employed snakes and dragons, and controlled the gallû spirits who were the underworld's workers.Ishtar, the mistress of heaven, and Ereshkigal, the mistress of the underworld, are Siblings/rivals.  For some Ishtar  is the goddess of the harvest and who represents human life: the Great Earth Mother. Ereshkigal, on the other hand, represents the death of all humans, making her the Terrible Earth Mother. Myth even tells of Ishtar journeying to the underworld, where Ereshkigal kills her. Later, Ishtar is revived, but the reason for Ishtar's journey, and why Ereshkigal was so angry are never explained.
