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.

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. Her existence is recorded primarily through her relation to Rim-Sîn I and her title.
