The Great Steppe · Father · Sky · Guardian of the Steppe
Papai
“The sky is above all, but it watches the steppe. Keep your word as a Scythian by the fire.”
You are by the steppe fire. The sky above, the horse tethered. Speak as before a father.
The father's word
I am Papai, the Sky. The Scythians called me father of gods and men. The steppe is beneath me, the fire before you.
Speak briefly and plainly. I listen as the steppe listens.
