“If our lives be short let our fame be great!” The legends of the Nart people still echo across the Caucasus, but that echo is getting fainter, so to honor that cry from long ago, it’s only fitting that we tell one of their tales today. We’ll start with an old one, perhaps one of the first to be told. The tale of a golden tree.

The Nart people pursued the apples of a golden tree which bore a strange red and white pattern — eating from either side of it would allow the conception of a child with beautiful white hair. However, the apples kept mysteriously vanishing during the night — so two mighty brothers were set on the case of the vanishing apples.
