It's easy to observe this area because it's still close to the “former Mesopotamian world.”
|

The only safe place is the area around Uruk, where the king is going strong and maintaining an environment livable for humans.

Northern Mesopotamia has become a kingdom of Demonic Beasts, while the south has become a mysterious jungle that no one returns from.

For humans who survived attacks by Demonic Beasts, the city of Uruk is the only refuge.

Now I understand the situation here.
|

[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Dr. Roman
|
||
With the rise of the Three Goddess Alliance, the Sumerian city-states have been dealt a devastating blow.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Dr. Roman
|
||
Many cities have been destroyed and many people have fled to Uruk, the center of this world.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Dr. Roman
|
||
The Demonic Beasts' invasion up north is the most serious issue at hand, as they're currently the major force wiping out humanity.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Dr. Roman
|
||
In response, Uruk's king has dissolved the city of Babylon and hastily constructed a great fortress known as the Northern Wall of Uruk.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Dr. Roman
|
||
In other words, Babylonia has turned itself into the front line for the war against Demonic Beasts. It's the last fort protecting the Mesopotamian world. Correct?

Yes. It's still unknown how the King of Mages influenced this era, but if the Demonic Beasts bring down Uruk, human history is finished.
|

|

|

[charaFace C 4]

|

If the first dynasty of Sumer, the blueprint of city-states, is destroyed, there is no certainty in what will become of the human race afterwards.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
During the same period, Egypt's first dynasty was also flourishing, but they alone can't preserve the Foundation of Humanity.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace C 0]
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
Therefore, there are two things you need to do.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
First, search for the Holy Grail the King of Mages sent to this era and retrieve it. That should give us an idea about his plot.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
Next, take down the Three Goddess Alliance if possible. Although that fight should belong to the people of this era...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
...if we do nothing, the Foundation of Humanity can't be restored. This task is beyond our abilities, but it is what we must do.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
？1：What do we know about the alliance?
|
||
|
||
[charaFace C 4]
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
Not much. Out of the three goddesses, I only know the True Name for one.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
There's the goddess controlling all Demonic Beasts up north, the goddess residing in jungles in the south,
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
then there's the soaring goddess who has no fixed residence.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
The biggest threat is the goddess in the north, but the soaring goddess is another problem altogether.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
In a way, she's the most troublesome goddess in Mesopotamia, even more so than the goddess controlling the Demonic Beasts.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
The people of Uruk are still puzzled over what to do about her.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
？2：What were you doing, Merlin?
|
||
|
||
[charaFace C 1]
|

＠Merlin
|

I was looking for something, under orders from the king. That's also why I was in the Cedar Forest.
|

[k]
|

|
||
＠Merlin
|

I was searching for something called the Tablet of Destinies, but I've put that on hold so I can guide you to Uruk.

Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.[sr]The king of Uruk in ancient Mesopotamia.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Mash
|
||
He is a historical figure who appeared in the Epic of Gilgamesh, mankind's oldest heroic epic,
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Mash
|
||
as well as other ancient Mesopotamian stories.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace A 7]
|
||
＠Mash
|
||
His historical name was Bilgamesh, where “bilga” means ancestors, and “mesh” means hero.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Mash
|
||
His father was King Lugalbanda, a demigod.[sr]His mother was the goddess Ninsun.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Mash
|
||
He was a hero born of god and human, which made him a combination of the two.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace A 0]
|
||
＠Mash
|
||
In his youth, he was fond of people, while also being a sage grounded in reason,
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Mash
|
||
but he became the complete opposite in his adolescence. He turned into an out-of-control tyrant.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Mash
|
||
He gathered the land's fortune, demanded prosperity in toil from his citizens, and abandoned the gods as relics of the past.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace A 7]
|
||
＠Mash
|
||
To admonish him, the gods created the being that appeared before us, Enkidu.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Mash
|
||
As fate would have it, Enkidu and King Gilgamesh fought for three days and three nights in front of a temple in Uruk.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Mash
|
||
The battle was a draw. Afterwards, King Gilgamesh recognized Enkidu as his only friend.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Mash
|
||
His tyranny relaxed a bit and he governed the country while still being feared by the citizens of Uruk.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|

|
||
However...

Oh, the Cedar of Lebanon story.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
King Gilgamesh set foot into the holy ground of the Forest of White Cedars and killed Humbaba, the Demonic Beast guarding it.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
Due to Mesopotamia's climate, the country was always in need of lumber.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
Bringing home quality cedar was his obligation, as both a king and a hero.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
However, his achievement captured the attention of a wicked goddess.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace C 0]
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
The goddess's curiosity drove her to desire all things unusual, beautiful and praise-worthy.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
Who was this wicked goddess you ask? She was Inanna, Queen of Heaven, daughter of An, also known as Ishtar. And she set her sights on Gilgamesh.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace C 4]
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
The world's greatest goddess confessed her love to the King of Heroes. However, King Gilgamesh rejected her.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
Why? Because Gilgamesh knew how coldly she treated her husband Dumuzid.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace C 0]
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
This must have been quite a shock to Ishtar.[sr]To be rejected by a man... by a mere human!
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
Furious, Ishtar went crying to her father...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace C 4]
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
...who, out of love for her, gave her something terrible.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
A Divine Beast powerful enough to destroy the world... Gugalanna, the Bull of Heaven. With it, Ishtar tried to destroy Uruk.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
The bull damaged crops, made the rivers run dry, and summoned a tempest before being defeated by Gilgamesh and Enkidu.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
Uruk was saved, but by killing the holy beast, Enkidu incurred the wrath of the gods and for their sins, the gods killed Enkidu.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
It was, after all, the gods who created Enkidu in the first place. In modern parlance, the gods flipped Enkidu's off switch.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace C 3]
|
||
＠Merlin
|
||
Honestly. The Mesopotamian gods' greatest fault was being pushovers to their daughters.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|

|
||
Between An and Enki of the Abyss, Ishtar was given a multitude of treasures.

That's right. The death of his only friend, Enkidu, was King Gilgamesh's first real encounter with mortality.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Mash
|
||
Death claimed even Enkidu, the mighty king's equal. Gilgamesh, in turn, began to wonder whether it was possible to conquer death.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace A 8]
|

|

As a result, King Gilgamesh embarked on a quest for immortality. He went to the ends of the earth, descended into the Abyss...

|
||
|
||
＠Mash
|
||
...and at its bottom, obtained the Herb of Rejuvenation. However[charaFace A 12]...

Gilgamesh returned to the surface and went to bathe. While he soaked, a snake crept in and ate the herb.
|

[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Dr. Roman
|
||
And so, snakes gained the ability to shed their skin, and humans forever lost the chance to become immortal.

Anyway, King Gilgamesh returned to Uruk, but because of his absence, the city had nearly fallen into ruin.

Reflecting on his own selfishness, he decided to try and restore Uruk.
