According to Antiquarius Paravakonen, Distinguished Lecturer in Early Modern Coscivian Literature at X University in [[Primóra]], the only essential characteristics of a ''Hekuvihírsda'' are that the work must be fictitious, composed in the [[Coscivian civlization|Coscosphere]] between 2XXXX and 2XXXX, and set primarily in Caphiria with a focus on Caphirian characters. However, he notes that there are several {{wp|genre conventions}} that came to define the ''Hekuvihírsda'', and that adherence to these conventions became more uniform with the passage of time. | |||
Although most ''Hekuvihírsda'' take place roughly around the times that they were written, a large number take place during earlier phases of Caphirian history, particularly in Ancient Caphiria. | |||
Large casts of characters with many conflicting interests and interlocking subplots. | |||
Characters almost always élites. | |||
