About Dastan
dastan داستان Persian, an epic tale
Dastan (داستان) is the Persian tradition of oral epic storytelling. Long-form tales were performed by professional narrators called dastangoi, often through the night.
Stories told through the night. That's what dastan means. The name fits a writing tool built around narrative craft, not decoration.
