The Hearth Codex
Tengri Verse
Everything the steppe once told is told again here. We begin with what the sources say, then the rules of this universe take over.
From the Book of Dede Korkut to the Altai epics, from Anatolian belief to Siberian shaman texts, scattered beings are gathered into a single codex. Every record has two halves: the creature as the sources tell it, and the creature as Tengri Verse keeps it.
The universe is split into three realms — Sky, Earth and Underworld. Every being belongs to at least one; a few stand right between them.
