Quotes
- “She stirs confusion and chaos against those who are disobedient to her, speeding carnage and inciting the devastating flood, clothed in terrifying radiance.”
- “Her wrath is a devastating flood which no one can withstand.A great watercourse, she abases those whom she despises.The mistress, a hurin bird who lets no one escape.Inana, a falcon preying on the gods.”
