Spellbound, Session 10
{{DM}}
Possible soundtrack: Kingdom of Heaven
- Claiming the sword: Return of the King - Anduril
Monsters of Babylon:
- Abaddon
- Aeshma
- Gilgamesh
- Apsu (helped create the universe along with Tiamat)
- Mushussu (three-headed dragon servant of Tiamat)
- Lamashtu (FF10): Lamashtu was a Sumerian/Mesopotamian demon that had the head of a lioness and a donkey's body.
Notes:
- Tiamat is also the Sumerian name for Leviathin and Absu is also known as Behemoth and even Cthulhu sometimes.
- The god of so-called wisdom slew her husband Apsu
- His son Marduk later killed Tiamat herself
- An earlier legend says Enlil, not Marduk, slew Tiamat
Divine connections:
- Tiamat is the mother of life
- She is a goddess of the dark feminine
- It's no wonder Vhaeraun wouldn't like her
The great ziggurat: Etemenanki
It contains the text of Enuma Elish, the creation poem.
It is the house of Marduk/Enlil.
Following the Orcgate Wars, a few centuriers later (-850 to -750 DR?), Enlil vanishes from the Realms, leaving Unther to his son Gilgeam.
