'''''Wyrn the King''''' is an ancient three-thousand line poem written on [[Sel]].{{book ref|Elantris|43}}
The poem is thought to be the oldest known work of literature on Sel, written before the holy book of [[Shu-Keseg]], the ''[[Do-Kando]]''. It is centered around the original [[Wyrn (character)|Wyrn]], the founder of [[Fjorden]].{{book ref|Elantris|43}}{{glossary ref|Elantris|G}}
After [[Wulfden the First]] converted to [[Shu-Dereth]],{{glossary ref|Elantris|J}} the original text of ''Wyrn the King'' was greatly altered by Fjordell priests to make the work seem more aligned with Derethi doctrine. Among other changes, these altered versions of the poem depict Wyrn as being Derethi and make frequent references to the importance of the Derethi god, [[Jaddeth]].{{book ref|Elantris|43}}
