قتل مرداويج بن زياد

In 323 the Daylamite ruler Mardawij ibn Ziyad was killed at Isfahan by his own Turkish ghilman. He had staged a Zoroastrian-style festival for the winter night — mountains ringed with bonfires, two thousand birds released with oil-soaked legs, a banquet of a hundred whole roasted horses — then humiliated his Turks, who seized the moment and killed him.
