Lands of Sumer
		"In the First Time, the world was like it is now. All the peoples and monsters lived on the soil, and under it like now. But a sickness came over the land, and all the peoples but the humans died out, and then all the creatures that lived beneath died too. Nobody knows why exactly, but after that, powerful mages destroyed the world and left it a smoking cinder. Later, Enki sailed back from the great sky-sea in his Sun Barge and saw the ruins of the world. He flooded the world with water, and then made the land anew. We must remember that Enki could have made the world as he wanted, but he didn't. He sent messengers to all the gods, inviting them to bring their peoples and beasts back to the world. And they did. So now we live in the world as it was the First Time, but now it's the Third Time, and we mark the years by the name of Enki, so all the peoples remember what he did for us."
