		So likewise, as I was informed by the Dastur, about twelve years previously the Muhammadans of Yezd threatened to sack the Zoroastrian quarter and kill all the guebres who would not consent to embrace Islam, alleging as a reason for this atrocious design that one of the Zoroastrians had killed a Musulman.

	An Inquiry into the Religious Tenets of the Yezeedees: An Inquiry into the Religious Tenets of the Yezeedees
		Yezd, or Sheikh Adi, is held by the Yezeedees to be the good Deity, and to him they offer their worship, which may he divided into two kinds, direct and indirect.
		That great luminary, as being one of the noblest productions, and most powerful agents of the divine power and goodness, is looked upon by them as the purest symbol of Yezd, and hence they worship its rising and setting by kissing the ground with their faces turned either to the east or west.

	Harry Turtledove: Videssos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In the two series and three short stories which have followed the original Videssos Cycle, Turtledove has examined the history of Videssos, continuously exploring earlier periods of Videssian history and her struggle with Makuran and Yezd.
		Perhaps in some future novel or series, Turtledove will be able to examine what caused the intense hate Avshar feels for the Videssan Empire and whether he has, at times, felt a similar antipathy for Yezd/Makuran.
		Since much of the cycle is loosely (and sometimes not so loosely) based on Byzantine/Persian history, the avid reader may be able to glean some clues from the study of their histories.
