Queni

I enjoy culture from all parts of the land. Whether it is a piece of historical lekking dance of the Abar region set in the palace, or some Queni kids putting on a circus of small lizards and squirrels that they've taught tricks, no doubt aided by their bonds with small animals.
— Gallivanter
