      A strange collection of poems
      No Expiration
      Istanbul Adventurer's Guild
      This is a request from a literary person. He wants to find a strange anthology which is apparently in Persia. You should learn Persian.
      The client says he heard it from a storekeeper at the market, so go and ask for details at the market.

                  Something a shop keeper heard
                  I also heard it from a customer, but the name of the author was definitely Omar Khayyam. The collection of poems was filled with odd things and yet it left an impression.
                  Je usually in Trebizon, so go there and ask the details.

                  Omar Khayyam
                  Hmm? A collection of poems? I talked to a Market Keeper about it. Khayyam was apparently famous as a Scholar, but he wasn't well known as a poet, so the poem collection wasn't widely known. That and the poems were all about extolling the virtues of alcohol.

                  Content of a poem collection
                  "Drink booze, don't be sad, a wise man told me to be down is poison, booze is a medicine that will cure that" and that kind of junk. What a weird guy.
                  What, you actually have anm interest in that? That Scholar showed the poem collection to me.

                  " The meaning of ""Rubaiyat""
                  Ahh, that poem collection is called "Rubaiyat". It is the plural of the Persian word "rubaii", meaning four line poems or quatrains, and is a collection of quatrains. What? You want the Rubaiyat?. Since it's written en Persian, you can't read it...

                  Poems in Persian
                  Wow,so apparently you understand Persian.
                  If that's the case, I will give it to you.Since what is written in there differs greatly from the religious teachings that we believe in, I can't recommend it but... It's in that rest area over there, so if you're interested, please go and take it.


                  It's a collection of poems that Muslims, who are prohibited from drinking alcohol, don't like much. That is it treated as a strange thing is a given.
                  Anyway, I'll go to the rest area and "Search" for it.
