The Thousand Year King Done Stole My Yellow Basket

Lord Silvius Alaren Greylord, close friend to King Ronard, was known among his friends as one of the most Epic men ever to walk Battal. But his pale skin thin physique, and somber expression, combined with his unusual longevity, did not make it easy to quell strange rumors. In his day--and for centuries afterwards--there was scarcely a bard in all of Battal who had not in his repertoire at least a few songs concerning Lord Greylord; favourites include “Greylord Rode to Mandleclang One Dark and Brooding Night”, “Twas All in Vain ‘gainst Vhadxi” and of course the timeless classic “The Thousand Year King Done Stole My Yellow Basket.”

Co'ner the Bright Eyed sings this song in EFWQ XV, however it also appears in many other sources. It is a very popular song.

Well I has a basket, it's a purdy yellow basket,

It's the purdiest basket in all of Battal,

But the Thousand Year King,

He's a green-eyed monster,

And he's coming to steal my basket to put it in his fortress

The mighty DragonBone.

Nooooooo! He be stealin' my basket!

The Philosopher King with his Epic blade,

Nooooooo! He be stealin' my basket!

I'm wide-eyed with fear at this Epic raid,

Nooooooo! He be stealin' my basket!
