“You want what all mortals want, power. I can give you that. The only question is, what are you willing to give in return?”
--------------------------------

Know what you hold is a tome deemed as heretical as it is incomplete. For the sake of true knowledge, do not let this book leave its home, it’s only safe as long as it remains at a monastery.

Unfortunately, we Anunnaki of Anumatum know little as to the true nature of the story of the first Kabbidimmyr and the “god” who made her. A very conscious effort was made to erase any and all information about it; either out of fear, shame, disgust, or some deeper reason. The passing of time destroyed the rest. Although, those in the “demon lands” of Pasarum still hold a great deal of the old knowledge, including that of their creation. Unfortunately I have been unable to gain access to such sources as I write this. Perhaps one day I shall take the perilous journey to Pasarum, I have heard they are kind to those who seek truth.

Therefore what is written here is the recollection of scraps of sources found here in Anumatum. As of the year I write this, Era 34 Year 138, only 6 partial sources exist which make reference to the god in which made the first Kabbidimmyr beyond the common epithets of “demon god” or “vile false god”. It is the hope of this tome to illustrate what we know of both the first Kabbidimmyr and her god based on what sources remain. Perhaps in these partial parchments we might find some truth as to the true nature of the event.

First I shall like to learn as much as we can about the god which granted this power.

We know one thing for certain, its name was Xillitu.

Luckily the most detailed scrap is also the oldest. Thought to have been written sometime in the 24th Era, it seems to be a reference to an earlier source which is lost. Part of it describes the god which first approached the then Anunnaki Irnini Warmsong, in the form of rhyming couplets (I don’t know why, some think it may have been a song or a written form of oral history, spoken in rhyming couplets in order to better remember it, as Warmsong was said to have been a singer herself):

  On the shower’d night of a summer’s eve,

  Warmsong retir’d with her featherless mate.

  Then be in that dream she found herself in a fog unable to leave,

  She wander’d ‘til she came towards a black iron gate.

  Therebe beyond the gate a garden of deep green,

  Where she met a figure of black and grey,

  ‘Twas coil’d upon itself, a serpent with a shadowy sheen.

  Legs a plenty, a veil shroud’d her face like a cloud’d day.

  With three strange eyes, which seem’d to look nowhere,

  And a horn’d head and tail, she welcom’d Warmsong to her home,

  And ask’d what she seek, to lay her soul bare.

  She look’d upward and saw a starry dome.

  The god introduced herself, Xillitu, an agent of another,

  “We welcome you Warmsong, to our secret garden,

  Come and sit, you are protected from your Mother,

  Confide in us your desires, you are shielded in the arden.”

This section describes the god Xillitu in a unique way. Later descriptions are very different, and it is not known if this is the true original or highly specific. Xillitu is described as a serpent with many legs, perhaps like a centipede, with a veil, three eyes, and horns. Later descriptions follow some of this convention, the many eyes and veil for example are kept, but almost all other descriptions state she had four wings and leave out any serpent-like attributes. Another odd thing which is described here yet nowhere else is that Xillitu was “an agent of another”, implying that she was there on behalf of her master, whose identity is never said. It is very curious.

The second partial source is the one which best discusses what was said between Xillitu and Warmong, albeit in fragments. It was thought to have been written sometime in the late 27th Era:

  “I seek knowledge, knowledge to the secrets of our powers, of our element; [… fragment lost].”

  “You seek power then.”

  “I seek knowledge.” […fragment lost]

  “No you want power, power to defeat the Sunura, power to unlock the depths of your Mul-given element, power like Ceatha, and most importantly, control of it all. I can give you and all your people that, but it comes with a great price: your flight, your faith, your form;” […fragment lost]

This incomplete dialogue illustrates what Xillitu offered and its price. She surmised that Warmsong truly sought power to rival Sunura, to have power like Ceatha without the loss of self. Even before the plague of Sunura “going black” had always been a dangerous consequence for any igdim bender who loses control. Xillitu offered both power and control, the ability to use the igdim element to its fullest extent without the loss of self in mind and body. Her price is curious: “flight, faith, form” and possibly more as the fragment cuts off there. Kabbidimmyr are unable to fly, and they do not worship Heba, but the “form” aspect is curious, and it is unclear if more was demanded.

Other fragments only offer partial descriptions and further conditions of the power which Xillitu offered. I shall present them here for the sake of preservation:

Fragment 3 [c. Era 27]

            That strange thing which called itself Xillitu, a womanly figure with four eyes and four black wings [….] “What I offer shall be gifted to all your race through your line” [….] “A power with full control” [….]

Fragment 4 [c. Era 28]

            A horrid demon, calling itself a false god, perverted itself by taking the inverted image of Heba. With four black wings of a bat and a ring of moonlight. [….]

Fragment 5 [c. Era 30]

            The lying demon called Xillitu said it would give her the power of Sunura while maintaining their mind and form. [….] It demanded they renounce Heba and turn towards the power of the Shadow.

Fragment 6 [c. Era 32]

            That terrible demon Xillitu made them worse then Sunura, they looked like Anunnaki but perverted and false, one wing, black faces, no ahs’me [….]

From these fragments we can gather that Xillitu demanded a great price, which may or may not have been a lie or had additional circumstances. That in exchange for the ability to use greater igdim element without the risk of becoming a Sunura, she wanted them to renounce Heba, lose their ability to fly, and give up their ahs’me, all of which are pinnacle tour identities as both Anunnaki and Children of Heba. I find it odd that Xillitu would demand these things, perhaps it loops back to her “master”, perhaps this master wanted them to worship it instead of Heba? But as far as I know, the Kabbidimmyr don’t worship any gods in particular, nor do they favor certain gods over another, they have reverence for Xillitu and the first natural-born Kabbidimmyr, but not worship. It is very odd. The motives of Xillitu are still unknown, but whatever the reasons or the particularities of their deal, Warmsong accepted.
