Not your fault, you just answered the last question.
Vesna stepped on Deandras Question.
I was just posting that up, so it didn't get missed.

I don't have SI, so it's not from there. And yes, it's seasonal imagery, but not necessarily autumn... (and that's my last hint!)

Thieves steal, and a fallen thief, goes to jail.
A thief who stole jewlery, and goes to jail, is Amusei.

Can I be moderator-in-charge-of-grammar?
My first act would be adding a question mark to jeff's last post.

The one who took that special paintbrush from the painter that transports you to a 'paint' world, and you have to kill him along with the paint trolls..

Such a silly place
- The painted Great Forest
Those who would steal jewelry
- Being the thieve who stole the enchanted paint-brush
Have fallen like leaves
- Fell to the ground when you killed him to get the brush in the paint-world, among all the trees and leaves.

Since it's referring to a season, but not Autumn, snow falling is the only other thing I can think of in Ob.
Don't know about "silly place" though.
So Arnora + Jorundr?
Or maybe A Brotherhood Betrayed? Dralas, Bradon + Gelebourne? But they didn't exactly steal the amulet.

I suppose this one is kind of obscure...
Nobody has gotten it yet.

Meh. I said something about not giving more hints, but anyway...
Consider not just what happens in a quest, but also its name and the name of the location. All parts of the poem are there for a reason.

You said in "the" quest, so am I on the right track...?

Only in the sense that I'm looking for a quest.

More of what I said I wouldn't do:
When I wrote jewelry, I meant actual jewelry, and the fallen I refer to actually fell (assuming you did the quest). Again, the names are as important as the content.
