Deeves

Persian

Kyomarz or Gil-shah – First man

In this identical book, whose antiquity is very great indeed, we learn that a certain king of their country was in the habit of fighting pitched battles with the Deeves—an order of disembodied gentry, who took to building cities in the province of Mazunduran; he defeated them, but the remains of their cities still remain.

Battles with Deeves: Randolph recounts legends of Kyomarz engaging in battles with the Deeves, disembodied entities that built cities in Mazunduran.
