Quenian

Quenian Buildings Quenian architectur is typified by wooden structures, elevated slightly off the ground, with tiled or thatched roofs. Sliding doors are used in place of walls, allowing the internal configuration of a space to be customized for different occasions. People usually sat on cushions or otherwise on the floor.
Music Quenian music can be divided in two forms: court music and folk music.
Gagaku is a type of Quenian classical court music that has been performed at the Imperial Court in Metha for several centuries since the founding of the Nymluman Empire. This court music can be divided in three categories:
Native Quenian religious music and imperial songs and dance Vocal music based on native folk poetry Songs and dance based on foreign music Wind, string and percussion instruments are essential elements of Quenian classical music.
Quenian folk songs can be grouped and classified in many ways but it is often convenient to think of four main categories: work songs, religious songs, songs used for gatherings such as weddings, funerals, and festivals, and children’s songs.
In Quenian folk songs, singers are typically accompanied by the three-stringed lute known as the shamisen, taiko drums, and a bamboo flute called shakuhachi.
Clothing The kimono Quenian garment, and the national dress of the Empire. The kimono is a T-shaped wrapped-front garment constructed of mostly rectangular pieces of fabric, and is sewn with set sleeve lengths, hem lengths and little tailoring to the body. The kimono is split into a number of varieties based on occasion and formality. These are denoted through motifs and motif placement, fabric choice, type of decoration and colour.
The kimono has a set method of construction, with its own various terms and units of measurement to describe this. Kimono are always worn left collar overlapping the right, unless the wearer happens to be deceased.[1] Kimono are worn with a wide sash called an obi, which can be tied in a variety of ways based on gender, occasion and obi type.
Over time, the proportions of kimono have evolved differently for men and women. Men’s kimono should fall approximately to the ankle, with no hip fold – the ohashori. A woman’s kimono, however, should be as tall as she is, in order to allow the correct length for the ohashori to be formed. An ideally tailored kimono has sleeves that fall to the wrist when the arms are lowered; however, in informal situations, this is not strictly necessary, and indeed, kimono are worn casually by some women without the ohashori.
Food and Drink Quenian cuisine encompasses the regional and traditional foods of the Empire, which have developed through centuries of political, economic, and social changes. The traditional Quenian cuisine is based on rice with miso soup and other dishes; there is an emphasis on seasonal ingredients. Side dishes often consist of fish, pickled vegetables, and vegetables cooked in broth. Seafood is common, often grilled, but also served raw as sashimi or in sushi. Seafood and vegetables are also deep-fried in a light batter, as tempura. Apart from rice, staples include noodles, such as soba and udon. Quenian culture also has many simmered dishes such as fish products in broth called oden, or beef in sukiyaki and nikujaga.
Below are listed some of the most common dishes:
grilled and pan-fried dishes stewed/simmered/cooked/boiled dishes stir-fried dishes steamed dishes deep-fried dishes sliced raw fish soups pickled/salted vegetables dishes dressed with various kinds of sauce vinegared dishes delicacies, food of delicate flavor Religion Unlike their culture, the Quenians were not insusceptible to religious beliefs coming from other sources than their own. In fact, it were their biggest enemies who brought another religion to them. The Way of Qhorha, the most widespread religion in the world, came during the everlasting war with the Corgak orcs. It is believed the leaders of the Quenians saw the gods at work, through the feared Eye of Goa orcs, who plucked out an eye to gain the favor of Goa, the godess of revenge.
It was then, the Quenians realized it was not their ancestors and the spirits in all living things, but the gods who channeled their powers to their world. They invited priests from all over the world to bring the religion to their empire. However, in the most ancient parts of the Quenian culture, mainly on the east coast, people still have not accepted the Way of Qhorha and practice the worshipping of the ancestors and spirits.
