Contents

Usher Edit

Vishnu was the Deity of Creation and ushered the mankind into the next cycle of the Wheel of Rebirth, [1]

The Preserver Edit

Those who respected and followed the social structure would rebirth in a higher level. For this reason he was worshipped by almost all the members of the lower castes of the Ivory Kingdoms. [2] It was believed that whenever evil prevailed over good in order to win, Vishnu came down to earth in some mortal form to save righteousness. Vishnu was not allowed to interfere in the situations directly. So, he took different avatar and act in manners that would re-establish proper balance between good and evil. [citation needed]

Arun Edit

In ancient times the Rakshasa ruled the Ivory Kingdoms, treating humans as cattle. Vishnu was reincarnated in Arun to end ther reign of terror. As a mortal he gathered an army of mischievous but good-hearted shapeshifting spirits who overthrew the King of the Rakshasa, Revan, from the power. [3]
