Elibukoq (writer)

Elibukoq translates as writer (continuous form). These are people that prefer the written word as their medium. There are various types of literature that exist. Some are cultural specific, but there are some that transcend boundaries of the various nations and city-states.
 

Common styles that transcend boundaries:

 

Poetry

  Dihan has many variations and is the most ancient of literature. In past centuries, the rules were very rigid.
  Modern poets sometimes bend the rules or throw them all out in order to suit the idea that flows onto paper.  Most poems rhyme. If they do not, they are called word paintings and they provide an image, idea, or emotion through either three to twenty-five lines or by forming the picture with the words themselves. All poetry is required to have a rhythmic flow.
  Dihamri is a form of writing that utilizes word painting and a rhythmic flow. There is little to no rhyming for the construction of prose is similar to fiction and real styles, which all utilize the paragraph form.
 

Paragraph-form (fiction or not fiction)

  Buk is a form of writing that is used for entertainment purposes and on rare occasions to express a truth through a fictional story. It can be based on real life, but the story is not an account of truth, but merely a story for entertainment purposes and sometimes to provoke thought in a reader through this use of fiction.
  Seven sub-categories exist:

• Fani deals with stories that take place in the time of Ancients or outside Elivera; Elivera people may or may not be utilized as characters.
• Tek deals with stories centered around science.
• Tekitasi is a combination of Fani and Tek.
• Mon is a mixture of all sub-categories, although most are stories about modern day elivan and/or stories that involve mysteries of all sorts.
• Hun is a story that amuses readers; a variation is satire, which conveys an idea or thought in a humorous way.
• Qohan literature is unique to each nation as mentioned above.
• Laiht is stories that has been passed down through oral and written traditions and is similar in all seven clans; some Modern writers have taken these ancient stories and crafted them in new, unique ways – some involving a modernization of the tale or a new twist on a tale.

  Qonbuk literature involves accounts that describe lives of past humans, past events, or discussions of Ancient mythology, religion, or languages.
  Pasaein is the history of the people transcribed from oral traditions and/or Ancient texts.
  Teak is a broad sub-category that deals with the explanation of all the various subjects to be taught in the Teakin . These are given to students to further enrich their studies since most teaching is involved with games and chanting with percussion.
  Qaeizari covers all printed scripts and lyrics for dramas and music.
 

Publishing

  All literature is printed through Literature Companies or Governmental libraries and are sold in Bukmaren. They are also available as electronic documents that can be downloaded on Sefir.
