Simorgh, Bird of Sovereignty

The Simurgh/Simorgh appears in a lot of Persian literature, most often being portrayed as a kind of dog-bird hybrid or as similar to a phoenix. She will raise heroes or offer her feathers as a way for protagonists to request her aid in some of these stories. However, I liked the portrayal in Conference of the Birds where a group of birds (each representing a human weakness) decide the legendary, wise Simorg will be their king and travel far to reach her. However when the 30 birds remaining on the quest make it to the spot the Simurgh is said to be, all they find is a lake where their own reflection is shown back to them (there's a pun here too! Directly translated, Si= 30, murgh= birds). The king of wands is a card that suggests leadership, inspiration, and the ability to manifest your goals!

Uh, this is about Master Duel now, I guess.

Simorgh is an animated chorographical piece that incorporates Persian music, calligraphic art and ornamental design to tell the traditional Persian story of a life that deals with the fragility of self-worth.
