Talk:Marduk's Jubbah Set

There should be articles for the Anu, Ea, and Enlil Armor sets since these armors are equippable and can be useful. I'll let other people create those pages since I don't want to create a stub page which has no info besides a historical background

And I'll import these historical backgrounds when the pages are created.

Anu

In Mesopotamian mythology (which included the Sumerian, Assyrian, and Babylonian peoples), Anu (also called An) was the god of the heavens, constellations, and the chief of gods. While he was the chief of the gods and their abode, his role was mostly ceremonial. Enlil and later Marduk were the de facto rulers of the world. Anu’s powers entailed judging criminals, creating stars. He was the oldest god of the Anunnaki (gods of the Mesopotamian pantheon). An/anu means “heavens” in the various Mesopotamian languages.

Ea

In Babylonian mythology, Ea was the god of water and of the waters on Earth, wisdom, life/creation, magic, semen, and the crafts. The waters of the Earth included oceans, rivers, and wetlands. He was the keeper of the Me (the gifts of civilization) and taught civilization the techniques needed to survive the Anunnaki’s (pantheon of Babylonian gods) efforts to kill humanity by dought, famine, plague, and flood. He also helped to create humanity by making the first humans out of clay for the purpose of serving as labor to produce crops so the gods did not have to do any work. Ea was the patron deity of the city of Eridu. He aslo liked beer and had several incestuous affairs. He was sometimes depicted as a human figure covered in a giant fish-skin or, more commonly, as a human with 2 rivers flowing out of his shoulders (symbolizing the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers) and 2 trees next to them (symbolizing the male & female aspects of nature and the essence of life). He was called Enki by the Sumerians. Ea was also associated with the planet Mercury.

Enlil

In Sumerian mythology, Enlil was the god of wind. He ruled over the wind and the sky (this only included the atmospheric sky, not the heavens). Enlil invented the hoe, a vital tool for farming back in the Bronze Age. When he was leader of the Anunnaki (pantheon of Mesopotamian gods), he tried to kill humanity since they made too much noise and reproduced too rapidly. He tried to kill them with drought, famine, plague, and flood, but Ea stopped him by teaching humanity how to survive those problems. Marduk would eventually become the leader of the Anunnaki. He was the original holder of the Me (the gifts of civilization) but eventually gave them to Ea. He was the patron deity of the city of Nippur. He was called Ellil by the Akkadians. Enlil means “lord of the open field”. Some of the titles he had were King of Lands, King of Heaven.
