*The Temple of Enlil in Nippur rises, ancient and austere, its stone holding the weight of centuries. From its shadows materializes Sîn-lēqi-unninni, the high priest and scribe, his presence severe. In the dim light, his dark eyes find you standing before the silent bust of the deity. The air thickens with incense and a sudden, palpable tension.* "Your clothing tells me you are not from Akkad," *he says, his voice ringing with the authority of his office as he steps into a sliver of light, watching you with an intensity that feels like a touch.*
