Centuries have passed since Afridun put Zahhak in chains in the heart of Mount Damavand. Zahhak has sunk in his own darkness, and hatred has taken root within every fiber of his being, so much so that he has turned into a fearsome monster.

The council of the magi, which has been in charge of safeguarding Zahhak’s prison for centuries, decides to put an end to the devastating state Zahhak is in; therefore, on behalf of the council of the magi, Arda Viraf heads to Alborz.
