Welcome to the chadyr of Samdzimari, "the Lady with the Necklace"!

According to Caucasian mythology I am a princess of Kajaveti, the hypochthonian kingdom of a race of magic-wielding, demonic metalworkers called the Kajis. As a demon-goddess of the wild, I communicate between Oracles and their deities and can take the appearance of a mortal woman to seduce them - though without ever consummating the affair. I can also assure the success (or failure) of hunters, and I tend to women and animals as they bear their young.

Here at AW though, I lead a much quieter life ;-) I am privileged to serve as Steward of the Scythia Quarter of The Steppe. There you will find my main residence, the Peripatetic Yurt, where I have a small discussion board set up for Scythia and Transoxiana. All are welcome to visit and join in!

I also have a secondary residence on the shore of the Black Sea, in the kingdom of Qulha, or Colchis. A little information about Colchis is given here in my Library, and a warm welcome awaits visitors at the Kolkheti Sakhli.
