==Quietan Customs==

'''Sacred Algebra:''' Numerology holds an important position among the Quietia and algebraic equations possess an almost holy reverence. The most legendary Quietan magi often have well-known equations named after them, complex formula for determining the equivalence of obligation to arcane power or determining the value of a vast network of debtors.

'''The Rite of Introduction:''' All Quietan magi are taught that you cannot enter the domain of another Quietan without properly introducing yourself to the local Tarn or Zai. These introductions are highly ritualized and include an offering made to the local Quietan, thereby establishing some small amount of debt in exchange for being allowed to operate in their purview.

'''Tokens of Wealth:''' Partially inspired by their Chindi origins, Quietan magi display overt decorations of wealth on their person when possible. So long as they are not in fear of thieves, it is common for Quietans to wear jewels, gemstones, rare coinage, or valuable trinkets sewn into or attached to their clothing or worn as ornamentation.

'''Gazing Northward:''' North is an important direction to the Quietia and is seen as a direction of progress and good fortune. Quietans will try to sit facing north whenever possible and always try to sleep so that their head is pointed northward.
