The myth

The Green Lord of the Harvest reinvents Osiris. In the myth, his brother Set trapped him in a chest and threw it into the Nile; later he tore the body apart and scattered the pieces across the land. Plutarch speaks of fourteen parts. Isis recovered almost all of them and Osiris returned to life as lord and judge of the dead. His green or black skin recalled the Nile's fertile mud and regeneration. Osiris beds were placed in tombs: molds of the god filled with mud and grain, whose sprouts symbolized his resurrection.

Why it has this power

An epic level 8 Deity of Earth, the Nile's fertile earth, with 2700 ATK and 2700 DEF, a perfect balance like the cycle of death and harvest. Sun beats Moon, and Scarab, the symbol of rebirth, beats Leviathan. It gains +700 from the Lapis Serpent Staff.

Did you know

Osiris beds were planted with mud and grain and placed in tombs; when the grain sprouted, it represented the god rising again.
