In the forgotten cosmogony of the world there is the Chaoskampf, an ancient tale where a hero battles the monstrous wild, a lone warrior confronting a great serpent. The Storm God of Kargamis,Tarhunt, tricked by the dragon Illuyanka, who takes his eyes and heart. Amongst the ancients who venerated the three sacred fires, the tale of Thraetaon, or King Fereydun, vanquishing Az-Dahag, a burning serpent demon of greed and want, whom he finally imprisons beneath the great mountain Damavand. The Kulshedra and the Drangue, the legendary Sigurd of the Volsunga, and the terrifying Lotan, or Leviathan, of the Ugaritic tribes... The theonyms and monstrous incarnations change, but the coils and contortions of the ancient tale writhe within the same confines, the same mythical prison, the same Pathless Labyrinth.
