Uruk was one of the first cities, the very beginning of human civilization. My reign was the most infamous of the first dynasty and I am known to history as the King of Heroes for my accomplishments. I shepherded humanity through the beginning of the end of the Age of Gods, allowing them to separate themselves from the influence of the gods.
[How does one manage to sound both so matter-of-fact and boastful? The world may never know, but Gilgamesh manages to swing it.]
So, you see, I don't require advice from you or anyone else on how to conduct myself.
