Siavash was a legendary and beloved Persian prince from the earliest days of the Persian Empire. He was a son of Kay Kavus, then King, and protégé of Rostam, Persia’s greatest warrior. Siavash’s is forced to self exile, due to the treason of his stepmother, Queen Sudabeh (with whom he refused to have sex and betray his father).

But he leaves an heir, who will one day become Persia’s greatest king and avenge his father alongside Rostam.
