A compact note lists Allan Ountermain and the work titled King Sotomon's Drones Jeu along with Witch Head as items in a catalog style feature.
The narrator recounts a scene in the Zu-Vendi court where Queen Nyleptha and Queen Sorais engage in political and romantic maneuvering with Sir Henry and others. Sketches drawn by Nyleptha reveal the seesaw of allegiance, while the party is led to sumptuous quarters. The chapter then shifts to descriptive geography, outlining Zu-Vendis position, climate, resources, and population, with notes on its highland landscape and ancient records.
The Zu-Vendi are an agricultural, warlike people with a sun worship religion that permeates law, family, and learning. Priests wield vast power, govern civil and criminal matters, and monopoly literacy while monarchs rise from noble factions. Language resembles Greek-like sounds with Phoenician roots.
After a long sleep at Milesis the narrator and companions tour a marble bath, feast, and a guarded palace route to the Temple of the Sun. They pass massive gates, a water-filled fosse and a drawbridge, then view red granite noble houses lining a broad street toward the temple on the hill.
