Avestara: Tales of Shadow and Flame

The Smoke Beneath the Tamarisks

In the drought-stricken village of Zeyvan, the poppies bloom too red and the earth whispers in forgotten tongues. When the sacred spring runs dry, young shepherd Mehrdad must journey to a ruined fire shrine where something ancient waits beneath the stone—hungry, patient, and listening. But what it wants cannot be fed with blood alone. A tale of quiet defiance, buried memory, and the roots that remember, set in the folk-horror world of Avestara. CREDITS Story by S.P.

The Mirror That Forget Her Face

In the heart of a canyon where silence weighs heavier than stone, a young man follows a dying mystic into the Mirror Abbey—a place where reflections speak, and the past refuses to stay buried. As memories twist and reality fractures, Farid must confront the truths he never dared to name. But in the Abbey, remembrance is not a gift—it is a reckoning. Some reflections show the face. Others show the wound. CREDITS Story by S.P. Razavi Narration by S.P. Razavi Cover Art by JI-Owon [https://www.deviantart.com/ji-owon/] Background by CC Music

The Man Who Found the Wind

In the windless village of Zeyvan, silence is more than a curse—it is a hunger. When the air goes still and a shepherd boy vanishes without a trace, Arash the potter finds himself drawn into a mystery older than fire and deeper than grief. Guided by a blind girl who speaks in riddles and a bone-witch who crafts wisdom from rot, he must shape a vessel strong enough to bind what cannot be named. But in a land where fig trees bleed and jars sing with the voices of the lost, the wind does not return without a price. Some silences should never be broken. CREDITS Story by S.P.

Red Man of Mehrak

In the blood-dust streets of dying Mehrak, swordsman Kavadh is tasked with rescuing a stolen girl—only to find she is no ordinary captive, but a dreamer marked by ancient gods. Beneath the crumbling city sleeps a forgotten power, and as Kavadh descends into catacombs of cultists and salt-born horrors, he must choose: kill the girl, save the city… or open a door that was never meant to be unsealed. The Red Man of Mehrak is a myth-soaked tale of sword and sorcery, whispered curses, and a gate that breathes in the dark. CREDITS Story by S.P. Razavi Narration by S.P.

Salt in the Wound

In the shadow-haunted hills beyond Zeyvan, the salt wind stirs—and Shirin knows the wound has begun to open again. Haunted by a forgotten scar and an ancient bargain, she descends into the ruin where memory speaks in riddles and salt remembers everything. But to reclaim what was lost, she must pay a price in sorrow—and learn that some wounds are not meant to heal. A folk-horror tale from Avestara, where myth and memory are never truly buried.
