FFXI ITEM:Tupsimati  

Historical Information

This sacred relic is said to bear the very inscription of divine will itself. Balrahn took it for his own as a trophy of war following a successful campaign against the Mamool Ja tribes. However, even the most spirited of efforts by the empire's foremost scholars has yet to shed any light on the weapon's true meaning or significance.

In Mesopotamian mythology, the Tupsimati was the Tablet of Destinies, a clay tablet inscribed with cuneiform writing, also impressed with cylinder seals, which, as a permanent legal document, conferred upon the god Enlil his supreme authority as ruler of the universe. In other stories, the Tablet is possessed by Enki or Marduk.
