White Elephant (Persian: فیل‌ سفید) was mentioned in the Shahnameh at the time of Zāl and the tribe in Zablian was caring for it.

One day Zāl had a party and invited all friends to the celebration.

Rostam woke up sadly and questioned the source of the noise and was told that the white elephant had been released from the dam and had harmed the people.

He hurriedly picked up the Maca and came out to restrain the white elephant.

The teenage Rostam has proven himself to be a gladiator by killing the white elephant, so his father persuades him to attack the White Castle and take revenge on them.
