Nart Epic
According to the Nart epic, the protector of wild animals, a friend of the Narts, the god of Afsati, lives on the top of the Adai-Khokh mountain. Ossetian hunters faced Adai-Khokh when they turned to Afsati to bless them and to give them a share of his forestry .

- ↑ In this Tsei district ( Tsei gorge), in the area of the Wilpat and Adai-Khokh mountains, stretching in parallel from the north-west, the Main Caucasian and Lateral Caucasian ridges merge into one ridge and break off. All the ranges (Lateral, Rocky) are interrupted, with the exception of the Greater Caucasus Mountain Range, and form a wide, cozy horseshoe-shaped hollow. Thus, in the east [southeast] the Main (Great) Caucasus Range continues for one.
To the east, according to more modern concepts, the Greater Caucasus already accompanies (according to various authors) either the Rocky Ridge (or the so-called Rocky Lateral Ridge) or the Lateral Ridge . In the eastern part , in contrast to the western and central (where it is clearly structured, four ridges run parallel to each other - see the introductory part (cap) of the Greater Caucasus ), there is no such clear structuring and the Main Caucasian ridge (after Kazbek) stretches accompanied by where one, and where in places two ridges.
