Padishkhwārgar or Patishkhwāgar which later orthographically morphed into Farshwārdgar (Persian: فرشواردگر‎‎) is the Middle Persian name of a vassal kingdom and later province of the Sasanian Empire. Islamic geographers locate this province to the north of the Sasanian lands and assign the Caspian provinces (modern Mazandaran and Gilan) to this region. Mar'ashi, in his History of Tabaristan o Ruyan o Mazandaran, says that Tabaristan, Dailam, and Gilan are the regions of Padishkhwargar. This would mean that the modern Iranian provinces of Golestan, Mazandaran, Gilan, Zanjan, Qazvin, Ardabil, and Eastern Azerbaijan will be included in this territorial designation. Its main city was Rasht.
