Senomordas ta Keinoser

The Senomordas ta Keinoser, literally meaning "Chronicles of Senomordas" in Mirselec, is the oldest extant historical work in the Mirselec language. Estimated to have been written in the late 2nd century DN, during the period in Risevan history known as the age of the Hesgarigani states, the work is seminal that has had immense influence on Mirselec historiography as well as its culture.

Impact and Legacy

The impact of the Senomodras ta Keinoser is profound on many levels, extending down to the script in which it was written - the compiler, coming from one of the foreign kingdoms just founded and exposed to the culture of mainland Osonde, was quick to adapt their script to writing the Mirselec language. The resulting script, which was then adapted farther and used in most literary works up to the 9th century DN, was known simply as Senotakisarimi, literally the "Pen Traces of Seno(mordas)". In highly modified form this script is the one used to write Mirselec in modern days; ironically the modern script in fact bears more resemblance to the oldest script found within these chronicles than to the later scripts of the 10th century onwards, primarily due to other influences complicating the latter orthographic system.
