Unable to Resist Being a Thief

A story set in an unknown age... An epic written by ordinary people... A band of fearless souls struggling against the tide of an imagined history... “We are the observers of history. We record its conspiracies, lies, hidden truths, and buried tragedies. We are unknown, yet everywhere; silent, yet every word we write rings true. We are great, yet we record the ordinary; we are ordinary, yet we bear witness to greatness... Our names will be etched into the historical epics of every race. We are the ‘thieves.’” From the sayings of the great thief Hadi Fangu Tongsi “...Remember, to be a competent thief, you must cast aside every moral code. We don’t need to save face. We are weaker than farmers. We hate picking fights, and we scorn fair duels. When we can’t beat an enemy, we run; even when we can, we run anyway...” “The disguises I’ve taught you aren’t just about your faces and clothes. More importantly, they conceal your true abilities. A thief whose skills have been seen through is a thief on the brink of death. That’s foolish, and absolutely unforgivable...” “...There’s nothing a thief can’t endure. We don’t care about the process; we only care about the result... And that result usually depends on keeping ourselves safe. A good thief never puts himself in danger...” From the sayings of the great thief Hadi Fangu Tongsi We are not incompetent, but we must appear incompetent... We are not nameless, but we must remain nameless... We are not harmless, we only seem harmless... From Reflections of a Thief There are no grand ambitions to rule the continent, no arrogant displays of power. This is simply the extraordinary epic of ordinary people striving to survive on a vast continent... *****The Thief’s Uncontrollable Urge will begin updating regularly on December 27. Stay tuned...
