Miqo'te, [ the Librarian repeats, with the satisfaction of an incorrigible polyglot learning a new word. And they even have a word for his own race as well! The Librarian’s excitement grows. ] We would simply call ourselves "human." I must say, the way you talk about your world—it sounds like it may hail from another History entirely! And not one I know of, either…

[ Could it be? A fabled sixth History? Or simply a highly divergent branch of one of the other five? The former seems impossible, but then, it has been a day full of impossibilities. ]

I hope you will not take offense at my curiosity—and do let me know if I overstep the bounds of propriety—but I would be fascinated to know more about your homeland. Could you tell me anything of the religions or customs there? Any dominant deities or spiritual groups?
