'''Gilgeam the Horse-Eater''' is a mythical figure, demigod and cultural hero of the ancient civilizations of [[Rusana]]. Gilgeam is said to have been created by the pantheon to guard their creation, the world and the creatures within. In turn Gilgeam asked for boons from the gods to better carry out his mission, the boons of Sapience, Curiosity and Strength. As the guardian of creation Gilgeam carried out many dangerous tasks and hunted different fell beasts. Eventually Gilgeam turns against the gods and is cursed to become a mortal man of flesh and blood. In ancient [[Nasrad|Nasrid]] mythology, Gilgeam is reputed to be the first man and the creator of the entire race and later its first king. In modern [[Rusana]], Gilgeam remains a figure of local folklore. In Islam he is called Gilmesh and is considered to be an angel who helped mankind survive until the coming of the Prophet Muhammad. | |||

Ancient sources tell of how the gods shaped Gilgeam from the trunk of a tree and breathed the Light of Life into him, making him come alive. At this stage he comes to be known in the stories as Gilgeam Man-Shaped, for he has the form of a man but no flesh or emotions of his own. The gods instruct Gilgeam that he is to watch over all that they have created. To better understand that which he must keep safe, Gilgeam asks the gods to grant him the boon of Sapience, which they agree to. | Ancient sources tell of how the gods shaped Gilgeam from the trunk of a tree and breathed the Light of Life into him, making him come alive.
