Some deities and mythical creatures from "THE FLOWER FROM TIAMAT'S FIRE"🔥🌼🔥
I am grateful that this story introduced us to such an intriguing lore. I'll never get tired of exploring it. ❤️ This contains spoilers. 🛑
@ftf-appreciationweek
1) Annunaki {Cuneiform: 𒀭𒀀𒉣𒈾} : They are minor deities in the pantheon, descendants of An (personification of the sky) and Ki (Earth goddess). In the game, however, monsters are also known as Annunaki.
2)Lahmu and Lahamu : They are twin deities, the first gods to be born from the chaos that was created by the merging of Apsu (consort of Tiamat) and Tiamat (the primordial water goddess); this is described in the Babylonian mythological text Enuma elish (c. 12th century BC).In the game, they are simply known as water spirits. (Some artist draw them as two sea serpent, similar to Tiamat)
3) Utukku (also known as Udug) : They were an ambiguous class of demons who were sometimes thought of as good and sometimes as evil. No visual representations of the udug have yet been identified, but descriptions of it ascribe to it features often given to other ancient Mesopotamian demons: a dark shadow, absence of light surrounding it, poison, and a deafening voice. In the game, they are the spirits of unburied mortals, prototype of modern vampires.
4) Gallu demons hauled unfortunate victims off to the Underworld (Irkalla). They were one of seven devils (or "the offspring of hell") of Babylonian theology that could be appeased by the sacrifice of a lamb at their altars. {We met them when they took Nikkal to Irkalla}
The admins at #tiamatAW are challenging you to guess which Tiamat characters these silhouettes belong to!
