Mirselec Literature

Poetry

Mirselec has had a poetic tradition of nearly two and a half millennia, with a wide range of poetic forms ranging from folk songs through religious, social and personal odes to epic works like the Suten ta Tengas, attributed to Sirinde ke Gars and split into twelve books.

Ancient and Classical Works

The bulk of surviving poetry from ancient and classical times in the Mirselec language can be traced to several compilations, or furasa, often works undertaken by court officials commissioned by the royal court of respective kingdoms. Some such compilations included the Harnur ta Furasa, which is estimated to have been compiled around 430 DN by commission of the King of Durosmao and is the oldest intact poetic compilation in Mirselec. Many of these works were in turn incorporated into the Sayenfurasa, a grand compilation of poems commissioned by the king of Masal.
