Shabrang ("[having] the colour of night")[1][2] is the legendary horse of the Persian hero
Siyâvash in the Shahnameh. In a trial of his righteousness, Siyâvash passed through a large fire riding this stallion. After his death, his son
Kai Khosrow, eventually became the ruler of Persia and was among the most magnificent and benevolent rulers according to Shahnameh. He disappeared and in traditional
Zoroastrian mythology, he never died and will return to bring justice riding on his father's horse Shabrang.
