Vasty'naar Verses: A Regalian Selection

Vasty'naar Verses: A Regalian Selection
Literature
Author	Vasty’naar
Genre	Poetry
Printer	The Sennelan Cooperative

There are many competing beliefs about who Vasty’naar was. Some say she was born in Altaleï during the end of the Allorn Empire's golden period, and as the suffocating over-population of the urban landscape took hold during the following centuries, she was driven to seek inspiration elsewhere for her art. Others contend she was born on the Suvial nations in Sileria and remained there all her life, only traveling locally and never beyond the lands of her people. But what is certain is that the Vasty’naar Verses, as they are now known, became legendary works of Suvial musical composition and poetry. “Vasty’naar Verses: A Regalian Selection” was compiled in 295 AC as part of a Regal-led knowledge collection mission to the Suvial inhabited areas of Corontium, who selected five works of prominence for inclusion in the final document.

Vasty’naar Verses: A Regalian Selection

Ninth Verse on Nature/Artful Description of a Fireplume Blossom

See the crimson feather be discarded into

A sea of emerald tongues, seeking to savor

The sweetness of other bundles

Motherhood

Nasha rising hoods around the flower

Is this what fostering the bloom involves?

Swaddle life in warmth of form

Like Nasha circling the egg-young

Water as the Cycle in sweet essence

Let your song carry deep to the very root

All poured in will circle in the end

Like Nasha circling the final hour

Besotted

As a Hiran delicately steps

with slim form gently through

paths seen only by Hiran-light

this one before me with

legs uncovered and

eyes as deep as forest

pools lapped in Hiran travels

alights me

Third High Call to Cemaan

O Crusher of Nations, Deceit-god

Cemaan, Persuasion Master

Teach the way of deep-water deception

Allow the learning of pointed politics

Teach the way of unraveling of tapestry-lies

Allow the learning of falsehood perfection

O Crusher of Nations, Deceit-god

Cemaan, Persuasion Master

Deliver to this speaker but a smirk

The gaze of knowing, of conniving content

That might show favor for masterful

Persuasive Lying

Epic of Drevooth, in three Lyrics

Drevooth of princely status

Sinadhäele in hand with Vanna was held

Blossoms were bitter in Indora

Arms raised to test Sinadhäele

In examination, Drevooth is lost

Vanna remains lost, without being so

Within the cracks, she mistakes herself

Mahavin, tempress, reaches her before Indora

The Wife gives in to sorrow in depths

Indora is driven to Ailor acts

Mahavin, murdered, Indora, accusing Vanna

From light lost gone, Drevooth steps

Lost in rivers, waters plied by Fin’ullen saviors

Aya’uiona clears Vanna’s heavy mind,

With Indora cast down

Trivia

• The Epic of Drevooth is an ancient Suvial story set in the Sundial Isles, but modern interpretations, expressed in the epic play form of the Suvial, often reflect modern ideas. Indora is portrayed as a schemer, who is ultimately turned into a Kathar at the play’s end, while Mahavin is herself a Kathar from the very start.
• Vasty’naar’s fate is ultimately unknown, though it is said her bloodline eventually blended with that of one of Sinadhäele’s oldest dynasties. Sadly, 90% of this family was lost in one of the earliest Void-outs launched against the Suvial, alongside their records of literature and music, including a number of ancient copies of Vasty’naar's Verses.
