Yeah. If that many of the Eleven Offspring have shown up...

Soon you'll start hearing people claiming the Goddess of Demonic Beasts is the same as Tiamat.

According to the Mesopotamian creation myth, they are the last children of Tiamat, the mother of all gods.

@Dr. Roman
|
||
Tiamat is one of the primordial gods of Mesopotamia. Or perhaps she should be considered a first-generation god.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Dr. Roman
|
||
In Mesopotamian mythology, the universe is called Anki. “An” means “heaven and god” and “Ki” means “earth and goddess.”
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Dr. Roman
|
||
The goddess brings forth life, and the god rules it. That's how the relationship is.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Dr. Roman
|
||
Back when what was above was not called heaven and what was beneath was not called earth,
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Dr. Roman
|
||
the god Abzu mated with the goddess Tiamat, and gave birth to many children, the gods.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Dr. Roman
|
||
But as the children grew, they desired power, and they rebelled against Tiamat to widen the world.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Dr. Roman
|
||
Tiamat was saddened and angered by her children's betrayal, and created new children.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Dr. Roman
|
||
But they were only “Ki,” incomplete creations that lacked “An.” As a result, these new children were not gods.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Dr. Roman
|
||
Instead, they were twisted, terrifying beasts... The “Eleven Offspring of Tiamat.”

The seven-headed serpents known as the Mušmaḫḫū. The wicked water snakes known as the Ušumgallu.
|

|

@Merlin
|

Dragon-beast Bašmu, the poison snake. Babylon's Dragon Mušḫuššu, the terrifying snake.
|

|

|

@Merlin
|

Two-faced beast Laḫmu, the mysterious child. There's no description of its form in the books, so I can't tell you more.

@Merlin
|

Giant Beast Ugallu, the giant sun. The lion-dog Uridimmu.

Girtablilu the Wise, the scorpion man. Until three months ago, it was the commander of the Demonic Beasts.

Tomoe Gozen sacrificed herself to slay Girtablilu. It's thanks to her that our battle lines still hold.

Lastly, Minotaur Kusarikku, the sun-follower. ...Hmm, is that all of them?

@Merlin
|

In the Mesopotamian creation mythos, these creatures fought the gods alongside Tiamat.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Merlin
|
||
They were commanded by the god Kingu, the one chosen by Tiamat.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Merlin
|
||
But the army of the gods, with the help of the new god Marduk, were so powerful they defeated Kingu.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Merlin
|
||
Tiamat bit hard into Marduk, but he defeated her with a final strike from his bow.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Merlin
|
||
Tiamat lay there, defeated, and the gods ripped her body apart, turning it into a land that floats on the sea.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Merlin
|
||
That was the land of Mesopotamia, a world created from the body of the fallen deity.

@Dr. Roman
|
||
Well, it's a pretty typical creation myth.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Dr. Roman
|
||
The body of the Earth Mother is used as soil to create the world. It is a theme seen in other mythologies too.

@Dr. Roman
|

A goddess creates life. But when she turns to chaos, she becomes the enemy of humanity, the mother of Demonic Beasts.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Dr. Roman
|
||
It's an Authority called Potnia Theron, the “Womb of a Hundred Beasts.”
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Dr. Roman
|
||
Anyone with this Authority possesses the seed of life... They can make an infinite amount of monsters, provided they have the resources.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Dr. Roman
|
||
Based on the number of Demonic Beasts, the goddess to the north likely has this Authority.

|

Yeah. And as a result, the people of Uruk see the Goddess of Demonic Beasts as Tiamat, and fear her.
|

[k]
|
||
|
||
@Merlin
|
||
Well, it makes sense. The offspring of Tiamat are actually all here.

...Hmm. Regardless of her True Name, her Authority and the sheer number of her forces make her the greatest threat.

@Dr. Roman
|

I wonder if King Gilgamesh has some kind of plan...
|

If the enemy really is Tiamat, if we just keep defending, we'll eventually be overwhelmed.

Well, that's a problem for later. For now, we need to focus on the south, not the north, Roman.

Once we cross the Euphrates, we'll be at Ur.[sr][%1], are you ready?

@Merlin

Make sure you're well prepared. If we're unlucky, you'll be forced to fight the second goddess.
