Kriznook

Local tradition remembers Kriznook as a Kalasha ruler in southern Chitral in the early fourteenth century. He commanded the valleys of Shishi Kuh, Drosh and Urtsun, and Chitrali accounts also place several valleys of Bashgal under his rule, ranking him above the northern Kalasha chief Bulasing in power.

Around 1320 Shah Nadir Rais, founder of the Rais dynasty, killed Bulasing and overran upper Chitral; he raided Kriznook's lands too, but could not take them.
