Sadly, I can no longer recommend the Baraka Chronicles. Anyone who gathers porcupine quills for the sole purpose of decorating a mirror frame (poor porcupine!) is not quite as cool as I thought. They even had their local “herbalist” find them a “porcupine pelt” for more quills. Eeeeew, hshuma.

Here are some other pictures from the same group.
