1001 nights is the sense I want to evoke with the Merchant Zayed stories, lush, mysterious, magical, sensuous. The ten-tweet episodes are fun to write. Every season has ten episodes.
“In praise to our Benevolent Ruler Emir Khalaf ibn Ahmad, we will recount the wondrous life of Arash Zayed, a merchant from Qazwin, his mother, his wives and his concubines. It was many moons that Respected Cyrene, mother to the merchant beseeched her son to find a wife. Many good daughters had she introduced, but none could charm his heart.”
