Epic Lore & Biography

Shahrasp was the virtuous and devout vizier of King Tahmuras. Renowned for his righteousness, he spent his days fasting and his nights in prayer before Yazdan. His wise counsel kept Tahmuras steadfast on the path of truth and justice, purifying the king so completely that the Royal Glory (Farr-e Izadi) radiated from him, enabling the defeat of Ahriman and the demons.
