Biography of Aneḫul
“I am the tremor before the shape, the storm before the calm, the void that swallows and births alike.”
Aneḫul, known through ages as Tiamat, Nammu, and the Mother of the Gods, is the embodiment of Chaos itself. Fifth-born of the Primal family, she is the twin of Aniaḫušua, Order. Where he builds, she unravels; where he measures, she surges without boundary. She is the Unformed, the Spark in the void, the radiant Shining One who rejoices in the wild and the formless.
Before the earth bore its foundations, Aneḫul thrived in the waters of endless potential. She claimed the chaos as her domain, birthing through it Lahmu and Lahamu, from whom Anšar and Kišar arose, and then Anu and Ki—primordial lines of divinity that echoed her power across myth and cosmos. Mortals remembered her as Tiamat, the Mother of Dragons, the Glistening One whose body gave rise to gods and worlds.
Her titles reveal the depths of her nature:
Goddess of the House of Chaos
Deity of the Abode of Destruction
She Who Dwells Where All Collapses
Lady of the Ruined Domain
Goddess of Unmaking
Queen of the Black Threshold
The Unweaver
Mistress of Chaos
Her very name speaks destruction and domain: 𒀭 (An) = god 𒂊 (E) = house, temple, domain, abode 𒄯 (ḫul) = evil, destruction, wickedness, chaos
Together: the God of the House of Chaos, she who rules the ruined threshold.
As a member of the 𒅗𒊬 (KA.RĒŠ), the “First Speech,” Aneḫul belongs to the Primal—the elemental powers birthed of Aniaḫupi (Life) and Aniašera (Memory). Not gods in the mortal sense, the Primal are the raw equations of existence, balancing creation through harmony and rupture.
Her kinship reveals her place within this eternal family:
Younger sister of Death (Anāzra), Emotion (Anrua), and Time (Anudda).
Twin sister of Order (Aniaḫušua), her eternal counterpart.
Elder to Desire (Anzizi), Wisdom (Annamku), and Nature (Annigin).
To mortals, Aneḫul is remembered with dread and awe—as the abyss, the mother-womb of gods, the dragon whose coils are oceans, the queen whose collapse births creation anew. To the Primal, she is not villain nor savior, but the endless wave of becoming and unmaking.
Aneḫul is not chaos as accident but chaos as source—the fertile void from which all forms rise and to which all forms return. She is the spark at the heart of destruction, the shimmering veil of potential that lies beneath every ruin, and the truth that without her, nothing new could ever be born.
