Allan Quatermain Chapter 13 - About The Zu-Vendi People

In which the curious land of Zu-Vendis is unveiled with its rich deposits of gold, lofty tablelands, and a people of mysterious and possibly ancient descent, living under a feudal yet sun-worshipping order marked by impressive architecture and an intricate social system. The narrative draws a vivid picture of the Zu-Vendi’s customs, religion, laws, and language, blending observations of their warlike and conservative nature with reflections on their uncertain civilisation.
