Three strange tales. One reckless king. In this episode of Poetry of Time, Kay Kavus builds a miraculous mansion inside Mount Alborz — where winter never comes and sorrow cannot enter. But that is only the beginning. Whispered lies from a demon disguised as a servant lead the king of Iran into the greatest sin of all: attempting to storm the heavens themselves. Eagles lift his golden throne toward the sun… until they tire. The crash is inevitable. But death does not come. Why? Because God still has a plan for Kay Kavus — a son named Siyavash who has not yet been born. After forty days of weeping and dust on his face, the king repents. But has he lost his divine Farrah forever? Then, in the second half, Rostam and seven Iranian heroes drunkenly cross into Afrasiab’s personal hunting grounds — not for war, but for sport. Thirty thousand Turanians attack at night. Rostam laughs. And a slaughter begins.
