Enki Enki was a god with several connections to the gods of Toril , although he was never worshiped on that world . He was god of rivers and oceans among the ancestors of the Mulan , and also the patron of jewelers , goldsmiths , and stonecutters . Description . Enki was a shapeshifter , but in all his human forms he was recognizable by his green skin . He could summon any being that died in the water , move like a blink dog , and he was immune to all forms of heat . He was known as a binder of demon s , his hatred for the fiends so great that he would slay any being in his presence who had ever interacted with demons in a friendly way . He carried a small mace carved from green jade . His armor and shield were made from water . Relationships . Enki is a son of the Untheric deity Enlil . He was once a lover of Lliira . He once had a wife , Nin - Hursag . Realm . Enki once dwelled in a realm called the Waterwheel in the Clockwork Nirvana of Mechanus . This realm was a disk covered in water and spanned by a bridge of woven gold and finely crafted crystal , interlocking with the neighboring wheels of his fellow gods , Anu and Utu . There , he dwelled in a multifaceted ziggurat - like palace made from crystal and jade . History . Enki was the son of Anu , Ruler of Heaven , who was the son of Nammu , the sea . A suspicious plague decimated the empire of Imaskar sometime around - 4370 DR . In response , Imaskari wizards opened two portals to two different places and times on another world . They captured slaves from that world in a series of lightning raids . On Toril the slaves intermarried with one another and became known as the Mulan . Although the Imaskari had created a barrier around Toril that denied entry to the gods of the Mulan homeworld , the prayers of the slaves were heard by Ao , who summoned the god Ptah to invite the Mulan gods to come to Toril . Because of the barrier , the only way the gods could enter Toril was by creating avatars to physically sail through the Flow between spheres . To this end , Enki created a ship known as the " Galley of the Gods " for his fellow gods to sail in , while the children of Re sailed a war galley known as the " Matet " . Enki himself elected not to follow the Mulan gods on this journey , and remained behind . Thus he was never worshiped by the Mulan on Toril , but other gods of Toril could still interact with him on the planes . In approximately 1357 DR , the goddess Lliira became enamored with Enki and the two began a romance . Unfortunately , the Greek goddess Hecate became infatuated with Enki as well , so to rid herself of her rival , Hecate cursed Lliira so that she could return no man ' s love and imprisoned her in a " Pleasure Palace " called Zannibar on an unnamed world . Thanks to the efforts of an adventuring party , however , Lliira and Enki were reunited . Shortly after that , tragically , Enki was murdered by the gods Anshar and Nergal . Nergal lured Enki to a place on the Lower Planes known for its many demons . Then , while he was distracted , Nergal bound Enki and his co - conspirator Anshar drove a blade through his heart . Enki ' s father Enlil has sworn to avenge his son , but has not yet found an opportunity . Relics . Enki is said to have created the " Galley of the Gods " , a magical ship used by the Untheric pantheon to come to Faerûn and later by the people of Unther in several naval battles .
