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.
