The power invested into the protection of Enheduanna drums in the air. The High Temple stands untouched among the rubble, and a tent city sprawls out in the shade of her wings.

Author's Notes
Like most cities in Solaris, Enheduanna is named after a Mercurian crater, which is itself named after a famous artist. Enheduanna was a Sumerian priestess, and the earliest known named author. She wrote hymns, exaltations and laments, often about the goddess Inana. It felt like the only right name to go with for the city once protected by the martyr keystone.
