He was the son of the third King of Uruk, Lugalbanda, and the godess Ninsun. With parentage like that, it is hard to argue.Religious organisations did have a far greater hold on what people believed and accepted in their daily life than now in the Western world. Was the King of France a 25th level swashbuckler in order to retain the services of the Musketeers? Or was he just an effeminate swop lucky enough to have good men who believed in the institution he represented? Would a DnD version of Queen Elizabeth the First of England require 20 levels in order to secure the services of Sir Frances Drake? Or would Sir Frances Drake do his Duty to Queen and Country, merely because she was his Queen, and he loved England (and he could earn a few gold coins doing it) irregardless of her "level"? Loyalty to bigger ideas than (me, me, me!) and (money, money, money) such as God, Country, Church, have always played a part in human affairs.</blockquote>
