An idea again. Pre-Islamic Chechyn and Ingush literature.
My finals are almost over so I'll be back to modding eventually, (although my initial Ashina mod is lost )

Quote:
The Narts themselves are a race of giants and heroes. Some of the characters who feature prominently in the sagas are:
Sosruko (Ubykh and Abkhaz and Adyghe (Саусырыкъо) sawsərəqʷa, Ossetian soslan), a hero who sometimes also appears as a trickster;
Satanaya (Ubykh satanaja, Adyghe (Сэтэнай) setenej, Ossetian: shatana), the mother of the Narts, a fertility figure and matriarch;
Tlepsh (Adyghe and Abaza ɬapʃʷ, Ossetian Kuyrdalægon), a blacksmith deity;
Syrdon (Ossetic: Сырдон), a trickster figure compared by Georges Dumezil to the Norse Loki.
