-===== Poems =====
-==== Honoring the gods====
->//Good old [[buurglap|Buurglap]], god of war//
->//Entered [[ulos|Ulos]] through [[kethra|Kethra’s]] door.//
->//Sailed [[merrin|Merrin’s]] seas against the tide//
->//Crashed his ship and nearly died.//
->//His grieving lover, god of death//
->//Kissed his lips and restored his breath.//
->//Now good old [[buurglap|Buurglap]] can lead to slaughter//
->//All your beloved sons and daughters.//
->//Life, death, frost, fire,//
->//Secrets, and knowledge you did acquire//
->//Stolen treasure from other planes//
->//Pulled together to build the frame//
->//On which you hung the sky and stars//
->//Water and dirt, all that is ours//
->//That is why we raise our flagons//
->//To honor [[azema|Azema]], Queen of the [[dragon|Dragons]]//
-==== Referencing Azema's Key====
->//For every dark feeling we seek to hide//
->//A deeper passion and love burns from the inside//
->//Turning the keys and opening the lid//
->//Both bones and treasure in such boxes are hid.//
-==== Queen Gimnax====
->//If I were the [[gimnax|Queen’s]] advisor//
->//I think I’d probably disguise her//
->//As a scullery maid//
->//With such a lowly wage//
->//That she’d learn to spend like a miser.//
->//This is my kingdom!” announced the [[gimnax|queen]]//
->//Atop a pile sand//
->//Though none had offered her title and deed//
->//To this little morsel of land.//
->//“I’ll kill the crabs! Slaughter the fish!//
->//‘Till none can resist my demand.//
-==== "Keys"====
->//A pulsating heart aflutter//
->//Like a bird’s majestic wings//
->//The pig’s muddy hooves//
->//A gutted fish that sings.//
-==== Treetop Village====
->//High from their treetops,//
->//The [[gnome|Gnomes]] glance down below//
->//To see the rats dig their own burrows.//
->//You’re disturbing our roots//
->//The [[gnome|Gnomes]] did wail//
->//So they round ‘em all up and cut off their tails.//
->//But here the [[ratfolk|Ratmen]] seek their revenge//
->//They chopped down those trees//
->//Until the forest was cleansed.//
