Second half of the 7th century, Scythian Rus’ (Aurusha Sventa). The related Scythian-Skolot peoples are still united in Gardariki, but a ring of hostile tribes is shrinking around them, threatening their independence and culture. Ancient knowledge has been lost, and without it you cannot survive against your enemies. The Council of Magicians in Panzava (Oka-Sur region) elects the capable magician Virushana as head of the clan guard. Realizing the cause of the troubles, Virushana decides to take a heroic act; he goes to Belovodye (Arianu) for the lost knowledge. At the crossroads of worlds, he meets Daena, his New Body in the form of a Beautiful Lady. Having tasted bliss in the heavenly land, Virushana gains knowledge and longevity. Returning to the earthly world and becoming the Ruler of the Red Sun, he turns Gardarika into a prosperous country. Its teaching is humane, its system is perfect, its structure is just, and its defense is unsurpassed. But the Earth is still falling into the Lower World and Victory is still far away. In the 9th century, Gardarika Panzawa came into conflict with the policies of Prince Kujawa. Virushana has a choice: war or the adoption of barbaric laws. On the advice of the daena, he takes Gardarika to the space of the Upper Earth, to Paradesha, where there is no violence, but joy, happiness and the practice of alchemy. All that remains from the earthly country is the beautiful legend about the City of Kitezh. Having fulfilled his duty, Virushana ascends to Ariana. But from his two daughters he leaves two genealogical lines of “holders of Truth,” radonish, who support faith and knowledge in both Lands, thereby anticipating Victory and future perfection.
