Gentii excel as debaters, politicians, lawyers, diplomats, scientists and much more, but the greatest treasure of Gentii culture is its artists. Enormously disciplined and trained rigorously from an early age, few individuals of other species can rival the technical perfection of Gentii artists of any discipline. They particularly revere performance art, believing that it somehow reveals something intimate about the inner self and inner truth that is otherwise hidden.

Enormously disciplined and trained rigorously from an early age, few individuals of other species can rival the technical perfection of Gentii artists of any discipline. They particularly revere performance art, believing that it somehow reveals something intimate about the inner self and inner truth that is otherwise hidden. According to one of their ancient philosophers, ''"The truest soul and self of a being flows forth from its art."''
