Arnawáz

Family: Irán · Role: sister of Jemshíd · First appears: Mirtás-Tází, and his Son Zohák · Part 5

Arnawáz was a sister of Jemshíd and Shahrnáz. After Zohák’s people seized the sisters, they were held for some time in his harem until Feridún released them.

In the Story of Kavah, the Blacksmith, Feridún captured the building and freed the imprisoned women, including Arnawáz and Shahrnáz. When he asked why Zohák had taken the route toward Ind, Arnawáz explained that Zohák expected to encounter him there and, if that failed, hoped to gain a magician who could subdue him.
