The Huma is the bird said never to land. It spends its life in the air, leaves its egg in flight, and the chick learns to fly as it falls. Whoever its shadow falls on is said to become khan — which is why it is called the bird of state.
It is kin to the Anka, the Simurgh and the Zümrüdüanka; where one ends and the next begins shifts from telling to telling.
In Balbal, Huma's Nest is the third floor of the Sky: warm gold light throughout, one long bird call, and a golden tile theme.
