Annunaki

Annunaki are a race of giant (standing at around 10 to even 20 ft tall) bipedal humanoids considered to be almost entirely extinct by this point in time. Some notable exceptions exist such as Empress Cixi of Qing Dynasty China and Grandmaster Enyo of the Order of the Jackal (latter now deceased).

Brief History
The origins of the Annunaki are unknown to the modern world, most contemporary records of them speak as if they are mythical species rather than a real group of people that once existed.

It is believed that the Annunaki as a part of the observable world were present until some time during the late Bronze Age, around 1177 BCE to be exact. The exact reasoning for their disappearance has never been discussed by the non-Annunaki scholars of the time, however it is theorised by many that they were removed from the world at the same time as the destruction of the Primordial Gods with the Siege of Troy and Fall of Babel which ushered in the Axial Age. In truth the Annunaki were changed into the mechanical Aereth by the god Ishtar during the Schism of the Gods, since then they were left dormant until their return following the Psychic Scream in 1917.

Biology & Culture
Annunaki are most notable for their height, which can differ from person to person, the tallest recorded being around 20 ft high. Their appearance, although uniformly bipedal, can differ on occasion with some sporting wings, or even snake-like tails in place of legs. Most share a common feature in their large horns, usually metallic which protrude from the sides of their head. In Mesopotamian culture this was deemed to be a symbol of power, however Annunaki horns appear to be naturally occurring rather than any kind of external cosmetic change.

Magic & Religion
The Annunaki are recorded to have had a natural affinity for magic, all members of their race having at least an intermediate level of magic capabilities. This magic was typically derived from their religious practices, their abilities being based around the divine aspect that they followed.

The gods of the Annunaki were not considered creators of their race/world, but instead were individuals that had been elevated to positions of godhood through their devotion by Annunaki and worship by other races. Members of this elite cast of Annunaki who were elevated to the status of deity include Ishtar, Ereshkigal, and Hermes.

Relationships with other Races
Their relationships with other races is limited based on historical context. During the bronze age, mankind and many other races were still in the semi-unconscious state of the Bicameral Mind, whilst the Annunaki were fully conscious. Because of this, they were uniquely seen as divine in their own right. This led to some unequal relationships with other species being looked down upon.
