High Priestess
Sister of Rim-Sîn I, high priestess of the moon god in Ur.
Rim-Sîn I's sister En-ane-du served as high priestess of the moon god in Ur. Her role was a religious office within the ancient Near East city-state of Larsa during her brother's reign from 1823 BC to 1763 BC (middle chronology). As high priestess, she held a position of spiritual authority dedicated to the moon deity, a central figure in Mesopotamian worship. En-ane-du's appointment reflects the practice of royal families placing their members in key religious posts to consolidate power. Her tenure coincided with Rim-Sîn I's military campaigns against Uruk, Isin, and Babylon, and later with the rise of Hammurabi of Babylon. The source provides no further details about her specific duties, rituals, or influence beyond her title and familial connection.

Lore & Background
En-ane-du was the sister of Rim-Sîn I, who ruled Larsa from 1823 BC to 1763 BC. She held the office of high priestess of the moon god in Ur, a prominent religious role in the region. Her brother's reign was marked by aggressive expansion: he attacked Uruk, Isin, and Babylon, sacked Uruk around 1801 BC (sparing its inhabitants), and seized Isin's capital around 1792 BC. En-ane-du's position likely provided religious legitimacy to Rim-Sîn I's rule, as royal family members often occupied such posts. The source does not describe her activities, teachings, or interactions with other rulers, nor does it mention any rituals or events she led. Her existence is recorded primarily through her relation to Rim-Sîn I and her title.
