==History==
“The Merriment of Thieves” has been a collection of poems that has persisted for years, some say a century, in the Regalian Sewers. Every few years, a new edition appears in the Sewers for those who live there to read it. The later editions never take away poems and only add them, resulting in a sizeable pocket book. It seems that the Great Sewer Boom under the [[Lo Occupation]] was still not enough to halt the production of this text. As late as March 305 AC, several copies of “Edition No.17” have surfaced.

“The Merriment of Thieves” has been the name for a collection of poems that has persisted for years, some say up to two centuries, among the lower classes of the Crown Isle in the Regalian Empire. Every few years, a new edition has been produced by an anonymous author, including bawdy songs, insult comedy about nobles and other notable figures in the capital city, alongside the songs of the common people. The last volume was released in March of 305 AC, and the lack of one appearing since has led some to conclude that the author or authors responsible for the text have passed away or left the city. Regardless of the truth, this, the seventieth edition, has been fairly popular and many believe if no one emerges to write a new Merriment soon, others will get around to it.

The Merriment of Thieves

Stem of the Poison Rose

Ooh-ooh-ooh!
Your leaves run black,
Your stem, Onyx,
And your thorns a' prepared- to attack!
Ooh-ooh-ooh!
Never get near,
For the bloom, o' it sears,
And all of your riches, they're mine!
Nothing you own, is safe- from- me!
Ooh-ooh-ooh!

Ironically Generous

You're lucky that I do not take everything,
I leave some for you, some for me!
You're desperately trying,
To escape op-er-tun-i-ty!
I spread the wealth,
Make it all even,
It's not like it dangers your health!

Iron-Fang

But a little, tiny, thing.
You cause so much terror;
You're built for breaking,
You leave no room for error.
You little tiny serpent,
Nothing better than a spy.
May the Void have mercy, repent,
You'll suffer once you die!

The Heretical Poem

Serpent be it
Estel retrieve it
Watcher dream it
Allar downed
Sihai frowned
Heresy be found
What did they do,
The evil it's drew
Living In Peace
A dream released
The Ailor rule
Noble jewel
Guard patrol
Prejudice unrolled
But why?
Why even try
The rich man is blind
Oh, what they’ll find

Trivia

  • Some of the other notable poems include “The Knife won’t Fit”, “Lovett’s Pies” and “Me Eronidas”.
