Summary:
The fair and childlike Nabu saw things in the stars that his brother Isu did not. To him, he saw unknowable mysteries unfolding in the night sky. Annunaki came to him, with hopes of divining some earthly meaning behind the movement of the heavenly bodies. Though he spoke with them often, it was difficult to take real information from his readings. The places and things that he described were in vivid detail, but failed to resemble the world in which they lived. At first, the obtuse quality of Nabu's information was seen as a form of higher wisdom, beyond the reach of men’s minds. As time went on, many thought him mad. Nabu longed to return to be among the stars again, forgoing all worldly concerns. As tragedy mounted around him in the wake of the Isu's genocide, he did not see it, blinded by the glare of celestial light. |
"I am a timeless chorus; join your voice with mine, and sing victory everlasting!"
--Nabu summoning ritual
You do not understand this egregious game that is being played out. I have told you much of what they shall not reveal, for they encourage you to proliferate these books of the gods that they may reap the sparks that have been shattered.
It is a cruel game, full of malice, where numbers do not matter, the singularity is lost in the plurality of choice.
