Yar Lha Sham Po
With celestial eyes of freezing cold rime and nostrils that howl stormy blizzards through the three worlds, the mountain deity Yar Lha Sham Po is the supreme god of Tibet's primal, pre-Buddhist pantheon. Conceivable to human sight as a massive, eerie white yak, the god's presence on Tibet's peaks is responsible for the bitter weather that enshrouds the highest mountaintops on the Roof of the World. He is also the patron divinity of the fertile Yarlung Valley, from where the empire's monarchs emerge onto the stage of history. As the reigning emperor, Trisong Detsen has now turned his back on the old gods and accepted Buddhism as the state religion. Poised to invade Tang China, he plans to tap into the fury of Yar Lha Sham Po and direct its elemental power against his very enemies.
