 Massive mudbrick ziggurats and temples were built, to award priest-kings with "divine" power — as (in the game world) — these persons enjoyed personal contact with the [[Gods (sage study)|gods]] and were thus able to act as intermediaries between the gods and their people.  This led to a spread of polytheistic religion, for this was the first human-to-god communication to take place.  Ziggurats were also necessary for the performance of rituals and ceremonies.
