History
It is said according to legend that the deity of a warrior princess named Yangchen Guul-la watches over the land of Gesaria and the neighbouring region of Lilytopia ,constantly striking down what she deems as "forces of evil" who intend on disrupting the region's natural order. According to the accounts written by Dorjee Gyalzen, a Qakhok scholar around 3000 years ago, Princess Yangchen was born around 3000BC as the Empress of Gangtok, a city in Sikkim situated in the far North of Gesaria. It is said that Princess Yangchen was an extremely powerful princess whom everyone in the Kingdom feared and respected. In Dorjee's accounts, he mentions Princess Yangchen's extreme grip on power and stable rule in a region where rulers are often deposed from their thrones in a matter of months. It mentions how many critics of the Princess or people causing violence are often immediately thrown into dungeons where they are left to die in horrible conditions, but it also made the kingdom more peaceful and prosperous as there were hardly any conflicts between the many ethnic groups in the region.
Dorjee's accounts mention Yangchen's battle prowess and combat skills,especially displayed in the war against the invading tribe of Azunga,who suddenly invaded her Kingdom and burned many villages to the ground,killing many people.Yangchen immediately called up her army and faced the Azungas in battle, where Princess Yangchen single-handedly killed 7,000 men by herself. She went on to inflict many more defeats on the Azunga with her army of 7,000 , inflicting nearly 56,000-89,000 casualties on the Azunga, which represented nearly 75% of their male population. In March of 2975BC, her army reached the Azungan capital of Garjin, where she proceeded to defeat the city defenders and burn Garjin to the ground.
The sky on that day grew dark and cloudy as Yangchen entered Garjin with her army.The people of Garjin were all indoors trying to hide from her seething desire for revenge. The entire city was quiet until Yangchen screamed out loud "Men, burn this city to the ground and leave nothing breathing!". She lit a torch and began burning every house she came across as her men began killing those who were hiding inside. The sky glowed a dark orange as the city burned to ashes,along with the defenders of the city and the Azunga leadership while she watched from a hill away,satisfied with her revenge. -The Legend of Yangchen, Chapter 21
In a diary recovered from the Talbushek Archives believed to belong to Empress Yangchen, she remarked on the sheer amounts of loot she had captured from the enemy, writing, but may not be accurately translated - "In my unmatched glory, I have captured nearly 200 tons of gold and riches from the enemy, as well as around 10,000 people from all ages and backgrounds that I can now make to do my bidding".It is believed that the captured slaves from Garjin were later used to construct Yangchen's opulent palace, which still stands today in the city of Qana-Qanaqaa.
Empress Yangchen died at the age of 46 in Caldemount in 2954BC, potentially of liver cirrhosis due to her extremely lavish lifestyle, but in the legend, it is stated that Yangchen died after the Gods called her back to Heaven, saying that she had used her Mandate of Heaven well.
Due to her status as an extremely revered and worshipped woman, Yangchen's legacy lived on for millennia after her death, with many people believing that her spirit protects the land of Gesaria and Lilytopia, watching over everything that goes on within her domain, and constantly driving away the aforementioned "forces of evil" like disease and invaders. To this day, many people go to her palace in Qana-Qanaqaa to ask for her protection and guidance, with some even asking for their enemies to be cursed by her. Worshippers commonly recite the "Yangchen Ritual" ,which states -
"Those who worship you and recognize you as their divine intercessor, and partner of Gesar and the Heavenly Deities, shall be blessed with fortune and be shielded in your arms. But those who are against you and us who believe, shall be cursed from now to the afterlife" -Ritual of Yangchen
