Tur
Zoroastrian · mortal · legendary · Recorded classification
The naming pattern across the three brothers is the point of them: Iraj gives his name to Iran and Tur to Turan, so the war that fills the epic is a quarrel between two brothers that never ends, and the two nations are two sides of one family.

- ancestor of: AfrasiabThe kind is 'ancestor-of' and not 'father-of', and the reason is a genuine conflict in the sources: one treatment makes Tur the father of Afrasiab directly, while the Shahnameh's own genealogy puts Pashang between them.
