The 'elephant-headed god of [[Tsang]]', Chaugnar Faughn is an obscure legend known to only a very few occultists.

He is said to be an unthinkably ancient being that has the appearance of a great statue whose features are that of a hideously distorted elephant, and that he is almost always immobile, waking very rarely to feed on human sacrifices.

The Hindu God ''Ganesha'' may be based upon legends of Chaugnar Faughn. Served by creatures called the [[Miri Nigri]], whose nature is nevr described, Chaugnar Faughn is said to inhabit a plce called [[Tsang]] where he awaits someone or something called [[The White Acolyte]].

According to certain occult sources, Tsang is a legendary location in the Himalayan mountains, said by some to be a high plateau, in which can be found the dread being known as [[Chaugnar Faughn]] and his servitors, the [[Miri Nigri]].

Some authorities insist that though real, Tsang is not of this earth.

Leng is a legendary plateau of cold, dry wastes. Some say it is located in the Himalayan mountains of Tibet or Nepal, while others claim it is not of this world, but can still be reached through the Himalayas.

The Plateau of Leng is said to be the home of many strange creatures, including the semi-human cannibal race known as the [[Tcho-Tcho]].

Nepal is a mountainous landlocked country between [[India]] and Tibet. The border with Tibet is along the line of the Himalayan mountains and Nepal contains 8 of the world's highest mountains. The single highest mountain, Everest, lies half in Nepal and half in Tibet. The Nepalese ''Sherpa'' people are skilled mountain guides.

The terrain and climate of Nepal varies with altitude, the Southern plains being relatively low-lying and lush, with the Northern highlands being cold and arid.

Nepal was granted its independence from the British Empire in 1923 after a long history of supporting the British in conflicts ranging from the Sepoy rebellion to the Great War. Despite this friendship Nepal has long been closed to foreigners, and those who do enter, such as diplomats and trade representatives do so by invitation of the Nepalese government and rarely see any of the country outside the capital, Kathmandu.

Nepalese culture is influenced by Tibetan culture in its Northern provinces, but these are sparesely populated and the vast majority of Nepalese are Hindu with a culture very much like that of India. Despite this Hindu domination, Nepal was the birthplace of the ''Buddha'', Prince Siddharta, and there is a sizable Buddhist minority in the North.

In the North of the country can be found the little-known, sparsely populated kingdom of [[Mustang]], which is the likely destination of [[Malcolm Quarrie]]'s [[Pilgrimage of Grace]].

In occult circles, the mountains of Nepal and Tibet are said to be the location of the fabled plateaus of [[Tsang]] and [[Leng]].
