==== Notes on culture ====
In Zekaisi culture, there are two words for beauty, klie and buwal. Klie means "possessing integrity and strength of character, inwardly beautiful" while buwal means "sensually appealing, attractive". Klie, "inner beauty", is valued to such a high extent that it is considered an insult to call a person buwal, as if he/she possesses no inner beauty and is thus appealing only to the senses.
