[edit] Name
His given name comes from the ancient city of Nippur, where his parents were born, while he acquired the epithet "from Lagash" after leaving his home city, Lagash, in forced exile.
[edit] Storyline
His adventures, loosely framed on actual history, start when Nippur, a general of Lagash, is forced to escape from Mesopotamia after its invasion, carried out by Lugal-Zage-Si. He then wanders around the bronze age known world, the Middle East and east Mediterranean, before taking part to the akkadian conquest of the Fertile Crescent. He thus become king of Lagash, but choose to abdicate and comes back to travel.
