Saynag-Aldar

THE CORPUS HELD BOTH ENDS OF THIS FEUD AND NEITHER OF ITS TWO KILLERS. ossetian_khaemyts is recorded as murdered and ossetian_batraz as his avenger; the man who did the killing, and the man who asked for it, were both absent. The blow that killed Khæmyts is also an etiology: it struck his tooth Arkyz, a chip flew up to the sky, and the moon has been there since.
