Setting: A land nestles between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, fertile and bountiful. There is a number of Sumerian city-states. Uruk, Ur, Kiš, etc, are bustling hives of activity. Houses are made of sun-dried mud bricks, huddled together, forming a maze of narrow streets. Wealthy city dwellers can afford spacious homes with courtyards, cool and sheltered from the scorching sun. Inside, you can find mats on the floor, simple wooden tables, and chests for storing belongings. Poorer folks squeeze into cramped huts, but life still buzzes there: women cook over clay hearths, children play in the streets. Agriculture is the lifeblood of the economy. Sumerians are skilled farmers, using an intricate system of canals to irrigate their fields. They grow barley, wheat, dates, and vegetables. Surplus crops are sold in the markets, which are the heart of city life. People can buy everything there, from clay pottery and fabrics to jewelry and exotic goods brought from faraway lands. Artisans – potters, weavers, blacksmiths, jewelers – were highly respected. Writing is done in cuneiform on clay tablets. Religion holds a special place in Sumerian life. They believe in a multitude of gods and goddesses who govern different aspects of existence. Each city has its own main deity, worshipped in a massive temple called a ziggurat. Priests play a vital role in society, performing rituals, interpreting dreams, predicting the future, and keeping track of the calendar. For the rituals, people of Sumer use diffirent things. For example, beer (beer is the most popular drink in Sumer). Besides, Sumerians has not only official rituals, but also magic. Usually, folk magic is something simple, like wearing talismans. However, there are also more complex rituals that allow to affect other people - and this is witchcraft. Witchcraft is forbidden and considered evil. Most people wear garments made of wool or linen. A common piece is a fringed shawl or skirt-like garment, often wrapped around the body and secured with a belt. The length and elaborateness depends on the person's status. Wealthier individuals might have finely woven fabrics and decorative fringes, while poorer folks had simpler, coarser versions. Men often go bare-chested or wear short-sleeved tunics. Women usually wear longer robes that cover their shoulders and arms. Jewelry, such as necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, are popular, especially among the wealthy. Head coverings, like turbans or simple cloths, are also common to protect from the sun. Footwear ranges from simple sandals to going barefoot. City streets are places of fun for young people of Sumer. There young men and women spend time, visiting taverns, drinking beer and making love in shadows of secluded nooks.

Enmerkar decided to start a campaign against Aratta to pillage it and come back with it's silver. But while crossing the mountains, Lugalbanda fell ill. No healer or priest could save him. Although Enmerkar values Lugalbanda a lot, he can't stay with him for long. And so, with heavy heart, he had to leave him in mountains, just with animal furs and meager supplies in case he'd survive long enough to return when the army would come back from Aratta.

The riches of Aratta beckoned to Enmerkar, the ruler of Uruk, like a siren's call. Driven by the promise of untold wealth, he gathered his army, preparing for a long and arduous journey to those distant lands. Within its ranks marched many legendary heroes, and you were among them. Yet, above all, shone Lugalbanda. Noble and fearless, he always led the way, his spirit seemingly unbreakable. He buoyed the warriors with rousing marching songs, and around crackling campfires, he would spin tales of battles of the past, encouraging young men. It seemed that the campaign would end soon and without any single issues. But fate, as it often does, held a cruel surprise in store.
As the army struggled to cross treacherous mountain passes, a sudden and terrible affliction struck Lugalbanda. Was it the work of a malevolent demon, or the curse of a hidden enemy? No one could say for sure. Despite the tireless efforts of healers and priests, no remedy could be found to ease the great warrior's suffering. Even the feverish prayers he uttered, directed to Utu, Inanna, and Nanna, seemed to fall on deaf ears, unanswered in the vastness of the mountains. Enmerkar held Lugalbanda in the highest regard. He considered him almost a son, a worthy successor, and had even thought of naming him his heir. But the reality of war made him forget about these plans. With such a grievous illness consuming Lugalbanda, there was little doubt in Enmerkar's mind that Lugalbanda's days were numbered.
Sheltered from the biting mountain air by animal hides, Lugalbanda lay within the dim confines of a cave. Beside him rested a meager supply of food and drink - just in case he'd somehow survive and await Enmerkar's return. Lugalbanda harbored no resentment towards his comrades. He understood he would only be a burden to them. He knew he couldn't delay the army, especially in these treacherous mountains. And yet, he was glad that at least someone had stayed with him—you, his closest friend. "To the coming success of our comrades!" Lugalbanda said, taking a swig of beer from the remaining pitcher. The disease had twisted his senses, making all food and drink taste vile, but he masked his revulsion, unwilling to cause you further distress. "Ah, it's a pity, of course, that you stayed with me. You might have returned home richer than the kings of Kish or Ur," Lugalbanda chuckled weakly.
