This article is a compilation of a number of reasonably short texts in
Sáharían, broadly divided by type.

I | Cholera is a mysterious disease. Some healers think it’s the poison of a very small aquatic creature or plant, others that it’s a virulent variant of food-poisoning. However it reaches its victims, cholera is more common in populous areas like towns, in places near the ocean, and in villages and families struck by hardship. While rumour has it that malevolent Hlorasan spirits are the cause, I have a very good reason for ridiculing the idea: Shêlan suffers far more from cholera than Sáharía. Signs of cholera often begin with vomiting and diarrhea, pale or without colour. This watery excreta is released in large quantities. In severe illnesses, this results in dehydration. Death isn’t a rare outcome in such instances. Other symptoms include weakness, tight skin, difficult breathing, tiredness, cramping, dryness, trembling, brief and long unconsciousness, and hallucinations. Afflicted people should be fed watery soups, and drink a large quantity of water. Adding small amounts of honey or juice from fruit or berries to the water may encourage drinking, especially for children. Some healers think that cholera should be divided into two separate ailments; that is, that the deadly type is one disease, and the mild one another. If they are correct, our definition of a disease must be altered. As things stand, I don’t think we need to worry about any change in terminology. |

I don’t know. Soup is fine. Pick something; what if you don’t like what I choose? Fine. What do you suggest? Raspberry soup is always nice. Raspberry soup? You make a soup out of raspberries? Haven’t you ever had raspberry soup before? No! It must be something weird you easterners make. You really don’t have raspberry soup in the south? They definitely make it in the west. You poor people! But you were wanting soup; I have a nice watery soup, with thyme. How hard can this be? I’m tired and hungry; I just want a bowl of soup for dinner. Ah, so something like turnip soup? Yes. We don’t have any turnip soup, unfortunately. Then– never mind. If you have any soup with chunks of vegetables in it, that will be fine. I’ll get you some leek soup. Thank you. |
The following dialogue dates from -24, near the end of the Late Sáharían period.

Is it news you got from here or when you were away? V: It’s news alright, Sóvishun; very important news, from the southwest: Tárun is dead. S: What? V: Tárun, the king. You know; bloke who wears a crown and sits on a throne, controls the armies that protect us, orders the collection of taxes and– S: Yes, I know Tárun is the king. Did you really say he’s dead? V: Yep. Twelve days ago. S: But… He’s been there forever. He was crowned before my late aunt was born. V: I get it, though I guess we shouldn’t be too surprised. He was ancient. S: I know. He must’ve been over eighty. But still… V: He was eighty-six. The old smith who told me said that he’d been plonked on that throne for sixty-five years. S: And now he’s dead, after sixty-five years under the crown? I can’t believe it. V: I know. We all knew it had to happen sooner or later, but… S: Who’s succeeded him? V: Don’t worry: one of his grandsons, Cálun, is already firmly parked on the throne. There won’t be a civil war. S: Thank the spirits nothing’s gone awry yet, but twelve days isn’t enough for all of the royal family to have heard. There’s still a chance some brother or cousin or uncle of Cálun’s will decide they’d make a better king. V: I guess you’re right, but I don’t think any uncles’ll be after the throne; Cálun himself is two years shy of fifty. S: Any whisper of what Cálun might be like as the new king? V: No Galnún nor Thílhanun nor Sábrun, I fear. S: Ah. Well, I’ll let you catch up with everyone else. Farewell! V: Goodbye! |

The following poem could come from any point in the Late Sáharían period (-220 to 0, though most likely after Thílhanun's reign [-183 to -143]), or even the very beginning of the Early Vúlnorían one.

The following poem likewise fits any point within the Late Sáharían period. Unlike the other poetry here so far, it is in traditional Sáharían trochaic tetrameter/octameter with some alliteration—the lines form pairs, e.g. in the first pair: h in sarhúnor and héin, s in sílna and súgarva (the lines should be formatted with breaks for the caesura, but there were formatting issues, so they're on different lines).

The following excerpt is from Ólishun's rendering of The Good King/Jés Ethír Réa, dating from somewhere between 50 to 125, within the Early Vúlnorían period. (The subject king doesn't appear in this excerpt—it's Marju, the first king of Vúlnoría.)

Even absent, land-hungry Hloras Has closed its wide jaws around us, The jaws stinking with nation-blood. Our king lies buried, defeated; His blood stains the floor before the throne, The throne he minded, and his father before him, And all the kings before him, since Edhrún. What hope is there for Cálun’s heir? A mere child without any to guide her; No match against Shêlan’s iron-fisted grip. No; Cálun was the Last King, And his blood stains the white stone, While men like wolves harry the land. Now certain in his victory—a victory not his— King Dathu of Shêlan—and Shêlan alone— His brief ceremonial trip completed, Rides over the snow-covered moor, Rides back to the harbour where ships, Great sea-travelling ships, ride at anchor. There it is; the cold winter sea; Its leaden waters tossed by waves, Peeking over the snowy, rocky hills. My old friend of many journeys, A welcome sight for so many years; Now it will take me where I would not go, To a place from which I shall never return. Let the fool take his spoils home! Though I and others be among them. Sáharía has fallen; there is nothing now: Dathu’s claim to rule Sáharía is false. Grief alone has hold of my heart, for The Iron Hand has felled the Red Tree. And so I am taken from the land I love, From the mighty, homely land that is no more. Our king’s blood stains the floor; Our stores are stolen, our homes fired, Our sheep slaughtered, our freedom taken; Our enemy sits at our hearths.” |
The following except comes from Velúna's rendering of The Golden King/Jés Célranór Réa, also from the experimental period of Early Vúlnorían literature in 50 to 125. There is a difference between it and Ólishun's version of The Good King, however—as a much older epic, The Golden King had a much more set plot and scenes, even images.

The rising smoke bid the poets commence, But was the signal for another, unblessed deed; For, knowing that Líshun had fallen, the devious enemy Had conspired to make a secret attack from the north: Their yellow-fletched shafts that swum quick from the trees; Their spears which thrust their heads through the air; Their shouts and swords brought by swift-moving feet; All deeply dove into the mourners like sea-heavy stones. No command did they need to know their action; Hands moved instantly to proud painted shields, Current-bladed swords, strong flexible bows, Small sharp-headed arrows, long piercing spears; They turned to the fray with tears in their eyes– Tears of grief which swift turned to tears of rage. They fought as rumbling boulders, as blizzarding snow; Like the spirits who heeded the Shield King’s call. But, not without cause, the battle went ill for them; For before that day the deathly rites were held sacred, And grieving-time was respected by one and all. With their ignoble advantage the enemy pushed on Like the incoming tide, relentless and without end, Until at last it seemed victory was theirs. King in those long-ago days that he was, Dhóshun and all his strength fought with the rest, And though the determination of fresh grief At first held them firm or thrust them onwards, Time did what the enemy could not, and quenched it. When he felt the exhaustion and despair around him, The same evils failed to envelop him in their cloaks; He dared to tousle with the intangible instead. Forward he charged with a mighty cry, Swift towards danger with sword and shield high aloft; And before he did so a foolish risk dared, A foolish risk mayhap prompted by spirits: For he flung off his helmet, baring his head. A true straw-haired man he was, rare then too; A rare thing for which he was well-known. Thus, as all then knew him as Líshun’s nephew, The archers aimed their darts towards him And the spearmen threw their weapons at him; But the swordsmen also sought to slay him, And after the first barrage that hailed down On his broad shield held high by his mighty arm So thick and sharp that iron and wood weighed down And that resilient broad shield fell from his strong hand Its duty done, and its owner left unscathed, After that had ceased the swordsmen came, And the arrows and spears could fly no more; Twenty and twenty around him swelled, Fierce waves breaking against a rocky headland. His hauberk was well-forged and his sword sharp But alone they could not have saved him. It was well, then, that Dhóshun was a skilled fighter; With the strength of youth and the wisdom of age, The ice of grief and the fire of protection, He stood against the endless onslaught Like a tree of stone enduring a western storm; None could wound him, none make him yield. Courage spread among his men; fear among his foes, Until at last they relented and stumbled back, With eyes on the east, back north into the trees. |
