Beginning with Kaiumers, the first king of Persia, this narrative presents a world where royal deeds shape both human civilization and the struggle against evil. Husheng introduces fire and irrigation, while Tahumers gains the art of writing from defeated Deevs. Jemshid brings prosperity, organizes society, and establishes the feast of Neurouz, but his claim to divinity breaks the bond between kingship and rightful authority. His downfall opens the way for Zohak, whose alliance with Ahriman transforms his shoulders into the dwelling place of hungry serpents. Their demand for human brains makes tyranny a daily catastrophe. Against this terror stands Kawah, a blacksmith who refuses to endorse the king’s false declaration of justice. Raising his leather apron as a banner, he gathers the people around Feridoun, the hidden heir destined to challenge the usurper. The victory over Zohak does not end the dangers surrounding power. Feridoun divides his realm among Silim, Tur, and Irij, exposing resentment beneath the appearance of family unity. Irij seeks reconciliation and offers to surrender his crown, yet his brothers answer peace with murder. Feridoun’s grief gives way to renewed hope through Minuchihr, whose rise leads to vengeance against the killers. Through supernatural encounters, public rebellion, and intimate scenes of mourning, these opening episodes explore the fragile relationship between courage, restraint, inherited authority, and justice.
