The "words, deeds, beliefs" formula - the Qestir seek to remove the "words" part from it entirely, because they are most likely to be lies. Words made with hands are still words, and still lies. Citation needed:  I believe in the initial MSQ they specify that the Qestir believe all wordsÂ
Which makes RPing one even more of a challenge, but I think that's what you take on when you create one. You have to convey your character's beliefs solely through their actions.
A funny potential scenario I did think of was like - two people bickering in the presence of their Qestiri friend, and eventually the Qestir just... SCREAMS. Primally. For like ten uninterrupted seconds. Because technically, screaming is an action, not a word, and doing it certainly achieved the action of making the others shut up... xD
-spoken- are lies and therefore language and writing are exempt from these restrictions. Â That being said I would doubt any language they do have would be complex and more or less convey needs and intent in as few "words" as possible.
