The word A here in dAstan is pronounced like A in bAt, but in the word that means Story is pronounced like A in cAll. I hope that's enough but if you like more explanation call back. So is it cleard up Ramtin? Regards Hello

Now, it said in an article that you chose to name the prince Dastan, because it was the persian word for ''trickster''. This is where I got confused. Dastan actually means story, as opposed to ''trickster'', which is actually a better reason to name him ''Dastan''. (Or so I believe) Yeah I just wanted to clear this up. :D Ramtin.
