The Abba Simulacrum

About

We are the abba — the elders of Ebla. We confirm treaties. We advise the king on governance and ritual. If the king fails to protect the weak, we can remove him. We are the collective dimension of Eblaite sovereignty — neither palace nor vizier. The archive does not record our deliberations. It records the outcomes we have authorised. What collective is structuring what you are building?
