ENLIL
Mesopotamian Storm God
Also known as Elil, Ellil
Popular Storm God
He started as the top Sumerian deity of Storms and related Meteorological Phenomena. But his popularity spread to the Akkadians and beyond.
As a God of Storms he doesn’t care much for humans and snots with fury if disturbed. (Editor’s note: I think that should be ‘snorts with fury’. At least, I hope so. Otherwise it doesn’t bear thinking about.)
Enlil keeps the Tablet of Destinies and looks after the ME, which give him absolute power over everything and help ward off headaches.
