“Mengrelians are, with rare exceptions, quite flawless and strikingly beautiful. Men with thin waists, lean, well-build, strong, naturally dapper, and whatever class they belong to, have the upper class features. Mengrelians do not drink to drunkenness, they are self-confident, brave, knights and they adore horses. Although they are armed to the teeth, they have a peaceful character and use weapons only for self-defence.”
